Subject: [PATCH] Fix print out of function which called WARN_ON()
Date: Fri, 15 May 2009 17:17:16 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1242404236-17624-1-git-send-email-ian.campbell@citrix.com> (raw)
All WARN_ON()'s currently appear to come from warn_slowpath_null e.g.:
WARNING: at kernel/softirq.c:143 warn_slowpath_null+0x1c/0x20()
This is because since:
commit 57adc4d2dbf968fdbe516359688094eef4d46581
Author: Andi Kleen <andi@firstfloor.org>
Date: Wed May 6 16:02:53 2009 -0700
Eliminate thousands of warnings with gcc 3.2 build
the caller of warn_slowpath_fmt really is warn_flowpath_null not the
interesting caller next up the chain. Since __builtin_return_address(X) for X >
0 is not reliable, pass the real caller as an argument to warn_slowpath_fmt.
[If there was a __builtin_this_address() I would use that for the WARN() case
for consistency, I don't know of such a thing though]
