Hi Greg, while compiling stable 3.14, I saw lots of warning message like: include/linux/sched.h:1698: warning: ‘pid_alive’ declared inline after being called include/linux/sched.h:1698: warning: previous declaration of ‘pid_alive’ was here This error is fixed in upstream by commit 80e0b6e8a001361316a2d62b748fe677ec46b860 sched: declare pid_alive as inline and also backport into stable 3.12. I wish you could backport it into stable 3.14. From: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx> commit 80e0b6e8a001361316a2d62b748fe677ec46b860 upstream. We accidentally declared pid_alive without any extern/inline connotation. Some platforms were fine with this, some like ia64 and mips were very angry. If the function is inline, the prototype should be inline! on ia64: include/linux/sched.h:1718: warning: 'pid_alive' declared inline after being called Signed-off-by: Richard Guy Briggs <rgb@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric Paris <eparis@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: hujianyang <hujianyang@xxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/sched.h | 2 +- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/sched.h b/include/linux/sched.h index 218b058..91fe6a3 100644 --- a/include/linux/sched.h +++ b/include/linux/sched.h @@ -1695,7 +1695,7 @@ static inline pid_t task_tgid_vnr(struct task_struct *tsk) } -static int pid_alive(const struct task_struct *p); +static inline int pid_alive(const struct task_struct *p); static inline pid_t task_ppid_nr_ns(const struct task_struct *tsk, struct pid_namespace *ns) { pid_t pid = 0; -- 1.6.0.2 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stable" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
