From 66e8c57da6bf6b847a48a5a6fda59512f733ed78 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Oleg Nesterov Date: Tue, 25 Aug 2015 20:45:18 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] rcu: Change _wait_rcu_gp() to work around GCC bug 67055 Code like this in inline functions confuses some recent versions of gcc: const int n = const-expr; whatever_t array[n]; For more details, see: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67055#c13 This compiler bug results in the following failure after 114b7fd4b (rcu: Create rcu_sync infrastructure): In file included from include/linux/rcupdate.h:429:0, from include/linux/rcu_sync.h:5, from kernel/rcu/sync.c:1: include/linux/rcutiny.h: In function 'rcu_barrier_sched': include/linux/rcutiny.h:55:20: internal compiler error: Segmentation fault static inline void rcu_barrier_sched(void) This commit therefore eliminates the constant local variable in favor of direct use of the expression.
