Hi all, As I proposed: http://marc.info/?l=linux-arm-kernel&m=144944469805753 , we can define a __private modifier for sparse to detect misuses of private members of structs. This could make maintenace a little easier and prevent some potential bugs. This patchset serves as a POC and consists of three patches: 1. Introduce __private and related macro, also improve compiler.h a litte bit 2. Privatize rcu_node::lock 3. Privatize irq_common_data::state_use_accessors This patchset is against -rcu/rcu/next 5f343fc7f0ce7edfe344e7cc5afdfe145a18f802 because this depends on commits: "rcu: Create transitive rnp->lock acquisition functions" and "rcu: Add transitivity to remaining rcu_node ->lock acquisitions I tried to use 0day to test this, but seems the email transfer from 0day to my mail box is very slow recently, so I haven't received a recent result yet. But as one can see, this patchset doesn't have any functional modification, the 0day may not find anything interesting ;-) Looking forward to any suggestion, question and comment ;-) Regards, Boqun -- 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
