From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>


The drbd code causes warnings that we cannot easily disable when building with clang:

In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_debugfs.c:10:
In file included from drivers/block/drbd/drbd_int.h:48:
In file included from include/linux/drbd_genl_api.h:53:
In file included from include/linux/genl_magic_struct.h:237:
include/linux/drbd_genl.h:300:1: warning: no case matching constant switch condition '0'

There is nothing wrong with the code, and adding 'default:' labels
in the right place is enough to let clang shut up about the warning.

This was recently resent by Philipp Klocke but the attribution on it
was incorrect (had Arnd's signoff but no From: line) and linux-block
wasn't cc'd, who presumably should take this patch since this file was
introduced by commit ec2c35ac1ea2 ("drbd: prepare the transition from
connector to genetlink"). If that is the case, perhaps these files
should be added to the drbd MAINTAINERS entry since they were introduced
by drbd and have been the only consumers since; I'd be happy to send a
patch if others agree.

It was acked by Lars on https://lore.kernel.org/patchwork/patch/756723/
so I don't know if this patch should carry

or not. I'll leave that up to the maintainer to decide.

Thanks!

Actually, I think I'd prefer a "case 0:" instead of the "default:",
because that would assert that we don't use a 0 for op or field numbers.

As at least some people seem to care, I suggest we bundle up
this and the other clang warning you just resent the patch for
with whatever else we may come up with for the next merge window
and send a pull request to Jens then.
In case we forget, please send a friendly reminder.

Thanks,

Hi Lars,

I will go ahead and test that change shortly and send it over for
review.

Thanks for the quick reply!

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'm sorry.
From my point of view, "fixing the pointless switch" is just "pointless",
so it (again) fell through.  I get it that it is important to others,
and getting rid of Clang warnings is a good thing.  So sorry again.

Last actual fix was 2018-06-25 64dafbc9530c drbd: fix access after free
so almost six month, yes.

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

It just dropped from its usual cadence of regular updates.

Well, I guess that's good news then :-)
