[PATCH] lockdep: make lockdep_assert_held() not have a return value

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

 



From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>

I recently made the mistake of writing:

foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));

which is clearly bogus. If lockdep is disabled in the
config this would cause a compile failure, if it is
enabled then it compiles and causes a puzzling warning
about dereferencing without the correct protection.

Wrap the macro in "do { ... } while (0)" to also fail
compile for this when lockdep is enabled.
