GCC is a free software... For what it's worth, GCC does not have a warning like this, it just accepts the incorrect location of the attribute, which has gotten others in trouble before: https://lore.kernel.org/CAHk-=wgf+kHeSZbpkZumWcTXUD7ordqTMvPRNL6aQVG1DSBDnQ@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx/ So the patch probably did build clean with GCC but that is one of the reasons that there is no longer a compiler monopoly for the kernel ;) Cheers, Nathan
