[PATCH] drbd: avoid clang warning about pointless switch statement

[PATCH] drbd: avoid clang warning about pointless switch statement

[Arnd Bergmann]

The drbd code causes warnings that we cannot easily disable when building with clang:

In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_debugfs.c:10:
In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_int.h:48:
In file included from include/linux/drbd_genl_api.h:53:
In file included from include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h:237:
include/linux/drbd_genl.h:300:1: warning: no case matching constant switch condition '0'

There is nothing wrong with the code, and adding 'default:' labels
in the right place is enough to let clang shut up about the warning.

Fixes: ec2c35ac1ea2 ("drbd: prepare the transition from connector to genetlink")

Ack.

Ok, not exactly "pintless", it's a valid compile time assert for uniq ids,
basically a BUILD_BUG_ON(duplicate-ids). But adding a default clause
there does not hurt.

Thanks,

I think I never followed up on the patch when it didn't get merged the
first time around. If you have a copy at hand, could you add your
Signed-off-by and send a version that applies to the current kernel?

Hello,

I've also stumbled across the "warning: no case matching constant switch
condition '0'" and wanted to fix it.
As your suggestion is probably the best way, I wanted to ask why it
didn't get merged yet.

Maybe the patch got lost?

Best regards,
Philipp
