Subject: broken do_each_pid_{thread,task}
Date: Sun, 14 Dec 2008 22:59:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <494581D7.6000203@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I'm getting
`if (type == PIDTYPE_PID)' is unreachable
warning from kernel/exit.c. The preprocessed code looks like:
do {
struct hlist_node *pos___;
if (pgrp != ((void *)0))
for (LIST ITERATION) {
{
if (!((p->state & 4) != 0))
continue;
retval = 1;
break;
}
if (PIDTYPE_PGID == PIDTYPE_PID)
break;
}
} while (0);
and it's obviously wrong.
After investigating this code usage all around, it's broken on many places
this or similar way.
For do_each_pid_thread(), even this code snippet from fs/ioprio.c is broken
due to double do {} while expansion:
do_each_pid_thread(pgrp, PIDTYPE_PGID, p) {
ret = set_task_ioprio(p, ioprio);
if (ret)
break;
} while_each_pid_thread(pgrp, PIDTYPE_PGID, p);
Any idea how to get rid of this issue?
