Hi, I have following code which generates a warning when compiling with "make C=1". ~~~~~~~ struct task_struct *kthread; kthread = kthread_create(xxxxx, yyyyy, "zzzzz"); if (IS_ERR(kthread)) { ~~~~~~~ The warning is ./include/linux/err.h:35:16: warning: dereference of noderef expression And disappears when I remove the IS_ERR. How do I correctly work around this incorrect warning? Btw. I am using Debian stretch amd64. It seems like this is related to the __force used in the parameter list of IS_ERR. Removing it also removes the warning. If it is fixed in sparse's git then when will there be a new release of it?
