Subject: Re: [PATCH v7 1/4] spinlock: A new lockref structure for lockless update of refcount
Date: Sun, 1 Sep 2013 07:10:08 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130901111008.GA28812@thunk.org> (raw)

Speaking of bool (and I'm not a fan of it either), is this warning
just noise (which is bad enough since it masks real warnings), or is
this going to cause serious problems?

(i.e., is a C compiler allowed to pack multiple bools stored in a data
structure into a single byte, with potentially hilarious results for C
code trying to do magic utilizing sizeof and offsetof (which some of
our kernel macros do use, IIRC)?

P.S. BTW, this is not the only set of sparse warnings that are
emitted by files in kernel/trace/*; maybe it would be good if the
ftrace maintianers worked on nuking them all? There are also a bunch
of warnings like which I've only recently learned indicated potential
RCU bugs:
/usr/projects/linux/ext4/kernel/trace/trace.c:1885:17: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces)
/usr/projects/linux/ext4/kernel/trace/trace.c:1885:17: expected struct trace_buffer_struct *buffers
/usr/projects/linux/ext4/kernel/trace/trace.c:1885:17: got struct trace_buffer_struct [noderef] <asn:3>*<noident>
