Hi Andrew, After merging the akpm tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: fs/aio.c: In function 'put_ioctx': fs/aio.c:386:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be if (percpu_ref_put(&ctx->users)) ^ fs/aio.c: In function 'ioctx_alloc': fs/aio.c:427:2: error: too few arguments to function 'percpu_ref_init' percpu_ref_init(&ctx->users); ^ In file included from fs/aio.c:40:0: include/linux/percpu-refcount.h:69:5: note: declared here int percpu_ref_init(struct percpu_ref *, percpu_ref_release *); ^ fs/aio.c: In function 'kill_ioctx': fs/aio.c:510:6: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be if (percpu_ref_kill(&ctx->users)) { ^ fs/aio.c: In function 'exit_aio': fs/aio.c:577:8: error: void value not ignored as it ought to be if (percpu_ref_kill(&ctx[i]->users)) { ^ fs/aio.c: In function 'aio_read_events': fs/aio.c:978:2: error: implicit declaration of function 'percpu_ref_dead' [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] if (unlikely(percpu_ref_dead(&ctx->users))) ^ cc1: some warnings being treated as errors Caused by commit 215e262f2aeb ("percpu: implement generic percpu refcounting") from the percpu tree interacting with commit 4a375d552122 ("aio: percpu ioctx refcount") from the akpm tree.
