Subject: [PATCH] memory-failure: fix section mismatch
Date: Sat,  3 Mar 2018 23:16:11 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180304071613.16899-1-nick.desaulniers@gmail.com> (raw)

Clang complains when a variable is declared extern twice, but with two
different sections. num_poisoned_pages is marked extern and __read_mostly
in include/linux/swapops.h, but only extern in include/linux/mm.h. Some
c source files must include both, and thus see the conflicting
declarations.
