Hi,
This is a macro pseudo-keyword, which expands to /* fallthrough */
for compilers that don't support the attribute __fallthrough__. See:
include/linux/compiler_attributes.h:213:
213 #if __has_attribute(__fallthrough__)
214 # define fallthrough __attribute__((__fallthrough__))
215 #else
216 # define fallthrough do {} while (0) /* fallthrough */
217 #endif
So, any compiler (older or new) will be fine with it.
Thanks
