The patch titled Redefine {un}register_hotcpu_notifier() !HOTPLUG_CPU stubs has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is redefine-unregister_hotcpu_notifier-hotplug_cpu-stubs.patch *** Remember to use Documentation/SubmitChecklist when testing your code *** See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: Redefine {un}register_hotcpu_notifier() !HOTPLUG_CPU stubs From: Satyam Sharma <satyam@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> The return of the present "do {} while" based stub definition of register_hotcpu_notifier() cannot be checked. This makes the stub asymmetric w.r.t. the real HOTPLUG_CPU=y implementation that is int-returning. So let us redefine this to be consistent with the full version. Also do the same for unregister_hotcpu_notifier(). We cannot define these as static inline functions due to an existing GCC bug (#33172). So define as macros that return appropriately instead (int '0' for the register_hotcpu_notifier case and void for unregister_hotcpu_notifier).
