check-patch does not like these, and I agree
#101: FILE: include/linux/kernel.h:248:
+# define non_block_start() \
+ do { current->non_block_count++; } while (0)
/tmp/tmp1spfxufy/0006-kernel-h-Add-non_block_start-end-.patch:108: WARNING: Single statement macros should not use a do {} while (0) loop
#108: FILE: include/linux/kernel.h:255:
+# define non_block_end() \
+ do { WARN_ON(current->non_block_count-- == 0); } while (0)
Please use a static inline?
Also, can we get one more ack on this patch?
