Subject: [PATCH] lockdep: make lockdep_assert_held() not have a return value
Date: Fri, 18 Jan 2013 23:31:43 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1358548303-21732-1-git-send-email-johannes@sipsolutions.net> (raw)
From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
I recently made the mistake of writing:
foo = lockdep_dereference_protected(..., lockdep_assert_held(...));
which is clearly bogus. If lockdep is disabled in the
config this would cause a compile failure, if it is
enabled then it compiles and causes a puzzling warning
about dereferencing without the correct protection.
Wrap the macro in "do { ... } while (0)" to also fail
compile for this when lockdep is enabled.
