When compiling kernel 4.9.1, I'm seeing the following warnings: In file included from ./include/linux/bio.h:23:0, from drivers/md/bcache/bcache.h:181, from drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c:9: drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c: In Funktion »bch_cached_dev_writeback_init«: ./include/linux/ioprio.h:15:73: Warnung: Klammern um Arithmetik in Operand von »|« empfohlen [-Wparentheses] #define IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(class, data) (((class) << IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT) | data) ^ drivers/md/bcache/writeback.c:515:25: Anmerkung: bei Substitution des Makros »IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE« dc->ioprio_bypass = IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(IOPRIO_CLASS_BE, IOPRIO_BE_NR-1); ^ It suggests to put parentheses around the expression with the "|" operand. No other kernel source files show warnings for me, so maybe it should be fixed. I would create a patch myself but I'm not sure if it would be correct and sufficient to put parenthesis around "data" like this: #define IOPRIO_PRIO_VALUE(class, data) (((class) << IOPRIO_CLASS_SHIFT) | (data)) -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bcache" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
