From c22331166b49b94b51424bb7fa1f83e09ad82734 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Raghavendra D Prabhu Date: Mon, 8 Oct 2012 16:33:55 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] mm: avoid section mismatch warning for memblock_type_name Following section mismatch warning is thrown during build; WARNING: vmlinux.o(.text+0x32408f): Section mismatch in reference from the function memblock_type_name() to the variable .meminit.data:memblock The function memblock_type_name() references the variable __meminitdata memblock. This is often because memblock_type_name lacks a __meminitdata annotation or the annotation of memblock is wrong. This is because memblock_type_name makes reference to memblock variable with attribute __meminitdata. Hence, the warning (even if the function is inline).
