Subject: [PATCH v2] sched/core: silence a warning in sched_init()
Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2019 08:44:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1561466662-22314-1-git-send-email-cai@lca.pw> (raw)

Compiling a kernel with both FAIR_GROUP_SCHED=n and RT_GROUP_SCHED=n
will generate a warning using W=1,

kernel/sched/core.c: In function 'sched_init':
kernel/sched/core.c:5906:32: warning: variable 'ptr' set but not used
[-Wunused-but-set-variable]
  unsigned long alloc_size = 0, ptr;
                                ^~~

It apparently the maintainers don't like the previous fix [1] which
contains ugly idefs, so silence it by appending the __maybe_unused
attribute for it instead.
