Subject: [PATCH] kmemcheck: make bitfield annotations truly no-ops when disabled
Date: Sun,  6 Dec 2009 18:42:13 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1260121333-19642-1-git-send-email-vegard.nossum@gmail.com> (raw)

It turns out that even zero-sized struct members (int foo[0];) will affect
the struct layout, causing us in particular to lose 4 bytes in struct sock.

This patch fixes the regression in CONFIG_KMEMCHECK=n case.

Andrew: Compile tested on x86_32 and x86_64, but because of my bad track
record when it comes to brown paper bugs, can you please keep this in -mm
for a little while? Thanks.
