Is there some sort of annotation which we can add to the IS_ERR()/PTR_ERR() definitions so that sparse will stop warning about this usage? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-sparse" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
