I suppose it is possible from the compiler's point of view that something in between might change the result of in_softirq() so that we may be using an uninit variable in the second call. anyway, the warning was annoying, and would only numb the user into ignoring other real issues, so I figured I might as well silence the warning. --Sowmini -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
