From 67a806d9499353fabd5b5ff07337f3aa88a1c3ba Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mel Gorman Date: Sun, 19 Aug 2012 14:41:03 +1200 Subject: [PATCH] Redefine ATOMIC_INIT and ATOMIC64_INIT to drop the casts The following build error occurred during an alpha build: net/core/sock.c:274:36: error: initializer element is not constant Dave Anglin says: > Here is the line in sock.i: > > struct static_key memalloc_socks = ((struct static_key) { .enabled = > ((atomic_t) { (0) }) }); The above line contains two compound literals. It also uses a designated initializer to initialize the field enabled. A compound literal is not a constant expression. The location of the above statement isn't fully clear, but if a compound literal occurs outside the body of a function, the initializer list must consist of constant expressions.
