Subject: [Question] sched: rt.c: kernel-doc warning
Date: Mon, 5 Oct 2026 09:27:38 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261005072738.2902503-2-manuelebnerli@mailbox.org> (raw)
Hi,
I'm trying to fix built warning and stumbled over this one:
$make W=1 -j8 > make_output.txt
In file included from kernel/sched/build_policy.c:52:
kernel/sched/rt.c:12:18: warning: ‘max_rt_runtime’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
12 | static const u64 max_rt_runtime = MAX_BW;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just can't make sense of this, because max_rt_runtime is used later in the
file - see diff.
What am I missing?
Thanks
Manuel Ebner
