mm/memremap: Mark folio_span_valid() as __maybe_unused

[PATCH] mm/memremap: Mark folio_span_valid() as __maybe_unused

Posted by Nathan Chancellor 3 years, 5 months ago

When building without CONFIG_DEBUG_VM, clang warns:

  mm/memremap.c:495:13: error: function 'folio_span_valid' is not needed and will not be emitted [-Werror,-Wunneeded-internal-declaration]
  static bool folio_span_valid(struct dev_pagemap *pgmap, struct folio *folio,
              ^
  1 error generated.

folio_span_valid() is only used within a instance of VM_WARN_ON_ONCE(),
which evaluates to BUILD_BUG_ON_INVALID() with CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=n, which
ultimately resolves to sizeof(), which is fully resolved at compile
time. Basically, the warning is flagging that folio_span_valid() is
only used in a compile time context and will not be called at run time.

Since this is expected given the configuration, mark folio_span_valid()
as __maybe_unused so that there is no warning.

Fixes: 07108d5bfeeb ("fsdax: introduce pgmap_request_folios()")

I am aware the Fixes SHA is probably not stable but I figured I would
include it anyways.

This fix looks good to me, but I assume commit-ids are not stable until
the patch moves from mm-unstable to mm-stable. Andrew, do I have that
right?

Yes, mm-unstable hashes change daily.  But knowing the title of the
patch which needs the fix is quite helpful.
