The patch titled Subject: min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is min-max-remove-sparse-warnings-when-theyre-nested.patch This patch should soon appear at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmots/broken-out/min-max-remove-sparse-warnings-when-theyre-nested.patch and later at http://ozlabs.org/~akpm/mmotm/broken-out/min-max-remove-sparse-warnings-when-theyre-nested.patch Before you just go and hit "reply", please: a) Consider who else should be cc'ed b) Prefer to cc a suitable mailing list as well c) Ideally: find the original patch on the mailing list and do a reply-to-all to that, adding suitable additional cc's *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** The -mm tree is included into linux-next and is updated there every 3-4 working days ------------------------------------------------------ From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: min/max: remove sparse warnings when they're nested Currently, when min/max are nested within themselves, sparse will warn: warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one originally declared here warning: symbol '_min1' shadows an earlier one originally declared here warning: symbol '_min2' shadows an earlier one originally declared here This also immediately happens when min3() or max3() are used. Since sparse implements __COUNTER__, we can use __UNIQUE_ID() to generate unique variable names, avoiding this.
