I know what they do, you don't need to repeatedly reexplain them. My point was just that in all the __init/__initdata warnings I recently fixed personally there wasn't a single one that wasn't a false positive and frankly I don't see any sign of them really showing real bugs. Basically effort:gain doesn't seem to be well balanced here. -Andi - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
