[PATCH -next] compiler.h: fix compile error with gcc-8 or lower version

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

 



I got the follow compile error in latest linux-next kernel with gcc-8.4:

  In file included from <command-line>:
  ./include/linux/percpu.h: In function ‘__alloc_reserved_percpu’:
  ././include/linux/compiler_types.h:279:30: error: expected declaration specifiers before ‘__alloc_size__’
   #define __alloc_size(x, ...) __alloc_size__(x, ## __VA_ARGS__) __malloc
                                ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
  ./include/linux/percpu.h:120:74: note: in expansion of macro ‘__alloc_size’
   extern void __percpu *__alloc_reserved_percpu(size_t size, size_t align) __alloc_size(1);

__alloc_size is not defined in gcc-8 or lower version, so add back the
conditional test for __alloc_size__ to fix it.

Fixes: 63caa04ec605 ("slab: Remove __malloc attribute from realloc functions")
