Subject: [PATCH 4.4 01/31] compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions
Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2018 14:13:31 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180720121340.208690374@linuxfoundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180720121340.158484922@linuxfoundation.org>

4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: David Rientjes <rientjes@google.com>

commit abb2ea7dfd82451d85ce669b811310c05ab5ca46 upstream.

GCC explicitly does not warn for unused static inline functions for
-Wunused-function.  The manual states:

	Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or
	a non-inline static function is unused.

Clang does warn for static inline functions that are unused.

It turns out that suppressing the warnings avoids potentially complex
#ifdef directives, which also reduces LOC.

Suppress the warning for clang.
