[patch] IA64: suppress return value of down_trylock() in salinfo_work_to_do()

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

 



salinfo_work_to_do() intentionally ignores the return value of
down_trylock() and calls up() regardless of if the lock
was taken or not.

This patch suppresses the warning generated by ignoring
this return value - down_trylock() is annotated with __must_check.

(void)down_trylock() was not sufficient.

arch/ia64/kernel/salinfo.c: In function `salinfo_work_to_do':
arch/ia64/kernel/salinfo.c:195: warning: ignoring return value of `down_trylock'
