Hi all, After merging the cifs tree, today's linux-next build (powerpc ppc64_defconfig) failed like this: In file included from fs/cifs/dns_resolve.c:18: fs/cifs/cifsglob.h: In function 'cifs_get_tlink': fs/cifs/cifsglob.h:1169:14: error: passing argument 1 of 'atomic_inc' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] 1169 | atomic_inc(&tlink->tl_count); | ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | | | refcount_t * {aka struct refcount_struct *} In file included from include/linux/atomic.h:82, from include/linux/cpumask.h:13, from include/linux/smp.h:13, from include/linux/lockdep.h:14, from include/linux/spinlock.h:62, from include/linux/mmzone.h:8, from include/linux/gfp.h:6, from include/linux/slab.h:15, from fs/cifs/dns_resolve.c:15: include/linux/atomic/atomic-instrumented.h:179:22: note: expected 'atomic_t *' but argument is of type 'refcount_t *' {aka 'struct refcount_struct *'} 179 | atomic_inc(atomic_t *v) | ~~~~~~~~~~^ and lots more similar ... Caused by commit ef242296e441 ("fs:cifs: convert from atomic_t to refcount_t on tlink->tl_count") Please write, review, test (repeat) and, only then, publish. :-( I have used the cifs tree from next-20211115 for today. -- Cheers, Stephen Rothwell
