[PATCH 4.4 60/69] cgroup: avoid false positive gcc-6 warning

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

 



4.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

commit cfe02a8a973e7e5f66926b8ae38dfce404b19e29 upstream.

When all subsystems are disabled, gcc notices that cgroup_subsys_enabled_key
is a zero-length array and that any access to it must be out of bounds:

In file included from ../include/linux/cgroup.h:19:0,
                 from ../kernel/cgroup.c:31:
../kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_add_cftypes':
../kernel/cgroup.c:261:53: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
  return static_key_enabled(cgroup_subsys_enabled_key[ssid]);
                            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
../include/linux/jump_label.h:271:40: note: in definition of macro 'static_key_enabled'
  static_key_count((struct static_key *)x) > 0;    \
                                        ^

We should never call the function in this particular case, so this is
not a bug. In order to silence the warning, this adds an explicit check
for the CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT==0 case.
