| |
During compilation of the linus tree the following warnings are encountered:
WARNING: kernel/built-in.o(.data+0x2480): Section mismatch in reference from the variable workqueue_cpu_callback_nb.14223 to the function .devinit.text:workqueue_cpu_callback() The variable workqueue_cpu_callback_nb.14223 references the function __devinit workqueue_cpu_callback() If the reference is valid then annotate the variable with __init* (see linux/init.h) or name the variable: *driver, *_template, *_timer, *_sht, *_ops, *_probe, *_probe_one, *_console,
This fix is to correct the following warning during compilation. Based on my "elementary" analysis, as it is called from other non-__init functions, this function cannot be declared as __devinit(), correct? Please comment. Thanks :-).
