Subject: [PATCHv2 1/3] debugobjects: Be smarter about static objects
Date: Mon,  7 Nov 2011 19:48:26 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1320724108-20788-2-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1320724108-20788-1-git-send-email-sboyd@codeaurora.org>

Remove the WARN_ON() in timer_fixup_activate() and actually use
the return code from fixup to tell the debugobjects code to print
a warning. This provides better diagnostic information via a nice
debugobjects warning instead of a simple WARN_ON(1) in the timer
code with no information as to what is wrong. We also assign a
dummy timer callback so that if the timer is actually set to
fire we don't oops.
