Hi Lars and Philipp,
Could you please make sure that this patch and the other one I sent make
it into 4.21/5.0? I am not sure when you were planning on sending the
pull request to Jens that you mentioned in the other thread but I've
noticed most maintainers typically send their requests for the impending
merge window around -rc7 or so and I wanted to make sure it was on your
radar.
Thank you,
Nathan

It needs to get here now, but drbd hasn't really sent anything in for
about a year, so I'm starting to doubt how maintained it is at this
point.

I get it that it is important to others, and getting rid of Clang warnings is a good thing. So sorry again. > It needs to get here now, but drbd hasn't really sent anything in for > about a year, Last actual fix was 2018-06-25 64dafbc9530c drbd: fix access after free so almost six month, yes. > so I'm starting to doubt how maintained it is at this > point. Oh, it is maintained. It is just happens to be "stable". We don't add new features there, and I'm currently not aware of any misbehavior. I'll prepare a pull request containing this, the other Clang warning patch from Nathan, and possibly other small stuff that accumulated, if I can find any, and send that out later today. Thanks for the reminder, Lars
