[PATCH] staging: lustre: remove unused variable warning

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



A recent patch to simplify the lustre large memory allocation
causes new warnings as an unintended side-effect:

lustre/lov/lov_request.c: In function 'lov_finish_set':
lustre/lov/lov_request.c:78:7: warning: unused variable 'len' [-Wunused-variable]
   int len = set->set_oabufs * sizeof(*set->set_pga);
       ^
lustre/obdclass/acl.c: In function 'lustre_ext_acl_xattr_reduce_space':
lustre/obdclass/acl.c:123:6: warning: unused variable 'old_size' [-Wunused-variable]
  int old_size = CFS_ACL_XATTR_SIZE(old_count, ext_acl_xattr);
      ^

The reason is that the 'size' argument to OBD_FREE_LARGE()
is never needed, which was previously hidden by the extra
abstractions.

This avoids the warnings by adding a cast to void, to tell
the compiler that the argument is intentionally unused.
A better fix is probably to remove the entire set of allocation
macros and open-code the normal kernel interface calls.
