Clang warns when two declarations' section attributes don't match. net/rds/ib_stats.c:40:1: warning: section does not match previous declaration [-Wsection] DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED(struct rds_ib_statistics, rds_ib_stats); ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:142:2: note: expanded from macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED' DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION(type, name, PER_CPU_SHARED_ALIGNED_SECTION) \ ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:93:9: note: expanded from macro 'DEFINE_PER_CPU_SECTION' extern __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name; \ ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:49:26: note: expanded from macro '__PCPU_ATTRS' __percpu __attribute__((section(PER_CPU_BASE_SECTION sec))) \ ^ net/rds/ib.h:446:1: note: previous attribute is here DECLARE_PER_CPU(struct rds_ib_statistics, rds_ib_stats); ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:111:2: note: expanded from macro 'DECLARE_PER_CPU' DECLARE_PER_CPU_SECTION(type, name, "") ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:87:9: note: expanded from macro 'DECLARE_PER_CPU_SECTION' extern __PCPU_ATTRS(sec) __typeof__(type) name ^ ./include/linux/percpu-defs.h:49:26: note: expanded from macro '__PCPU_ATTRS' __percpu __attribute__((section(PER_CPU_BASE_SECTION sec))) \ ^ 1 warning generated. The initial definition was added in commit ec16227e1414 ("RDS/IB: Infiniband transport") and the cache aligned definition was added in commit e6babe4cc4ce ("RDS/IB: Stats and sysctls") right after. The definition probably should have been updated in net/rds/ib.h, which is what this patch does.
