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> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/sched.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) --- a/include/linux/sched.h +++ b/include/linux/sched.h @@ -1695,7 +1695,7 @@ static inline pid_t task_tgid_vnr(struct } -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; Patches currently in stable-queue which might be from rgb@xxxxxxxxxx are queue-3.14/sched-declare-pid_alive-as-inline.patch -- 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
