Probably there should be a space between your first and last name. It's supposed to your legal name like for signing a legal document so use whatever is appropriate legal documents in your country. Also the Documentation/process/volatile-considered-harmful.rst explains that people often use "volatile" when they should be using locking for synchronization. That seems to be the case here. So the correct fix is to add locking. That's a little bit complicated to do and requires testing. If we apply this patch, then we have silenced the warning so now someone will have to look for the bug. But if we leave it as-is, then everyone will know that the code is buggy. So let's leave it as-is until we are able to fix the bug. It's always better to have easy to find bugs, than hidden bugs. regards, dan carpenter _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
