Subject: [PATCH] kernel/params.c: make use of unused but set variable
Date: Sun, 07 Jun 2015 17:54:30 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1433721270-9182-1-git-send-email-lou_langholtz@me.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=143351431301630>
While Rusty Russell wants the return value of sysfs_create_file
ignored, it's annotated '__must_check'. Tejun Heo made the annotaion
and suggests just using BUG_ON(). Meanwhile the compiler warns that
the 'err' variable is set but unused. This patch uses Tejun's
suggestion. This eliminates the warning, satisfies the required check,
and fails-fast with notice if sysfs_create_file actually ever fails
(something that Rusty says should never happen when this code runs).
