OK, that's a problem in sparse, I guess. There _should_ be some #ifdeffable thing which is being passed to cpp when we run sparse (but I'm not sure what it is). If there is such a thing then we could disable the __must_be_array() thing during sparse runs. But longer-term, sparse should be taught about __must_be_array(). > When I had run my builds, I had restricted the sparse checks to just iwlwifi > (vs. checking the rest of the kernel). > > I just ran it C=2 CF=-Wall against the rest of the kernel and do see other > code > with the same problem, eg: > > sound/core/memalloc.c:521:14: error: cannot size expression > ... > > I had erroneously thought it was just a problem with iwlwifi... > - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
