Since commit c14b78e7decd0d1d5add6a4604feb8609fe920a9 ("netfilter: nfnetlink: add mutex per subsystem") building nefnetlink.o without CONFIG_PROVE_RCU set, triggers this GCC warning: net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:65:22: warning: ‘nfnl_get_lock’ defined but not used [-Wunused-function] The cause of that warning is, in short, that rcu_lockdep_assert() compiles away if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is not set. Silence this warning by open coding nfnl_get_lock() in the sole place it was called, which allows to remove that function. Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@xxxxxxxxxx> --- 0) Compile tested only, but without CONFIG_PROVE_RCU set! This patch needs building and running by someone who actually uses that option. 1) This patch triggers a checkpatch "line over 80 characters" warning. But note that it actually shortens the line checkpatch complains about (by one character!). net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c | 7 +------ 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c b/net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c index d578ec2..0b1b32c 100644 --- a/net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c +++ b/net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c @@ -62,11 +62,6 @@ void nfnl_unlock(__u8 subsys_id) } EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(nfnl_unlock); -static struct mutex *nfnl_get_lock(__u8 subsys_id) -{ - return &table[subsys_id].mutex; -} - int nfnetlink_subsys_register(const struct nfnetlink_subsystem *n) { nfnl_lock(n->subsys_id); @@ -199,7 +194,7 @@ replay: rcu_read_unlock(); nfnl_lock(subsys_id); if (rcu_dereference_protected(table[subsys_id].subsys, - lockdep_is_held(nfnl_get_lock(subsys_id))) != ss || + lockdep_is_held(&table[subsys_id].mutex)) != ss || nfnetlink_find_client(type, ss) != nc) err = -EAGAIN; else if (nc->call) -- 1.7.11.7 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netfilter-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
