I just sent Linus the simple version:

That BUILD_BUG_ON() is just wrong, but nobody knew that because the
present version of BUILD_BUG_ON() silently does nothing if passed an
expression which isn't a compile-time constant. This was all fixed in
the just-sent
build_bug_on-fix-it-and-a-couple-of-bogus-uses-of-it.patch:


From: "Jan Beulich" <JBeulich@xxxxxxxxxx>

gcc permitting variable length arrays makes the current construct used for
BUILD_BUG_ON() useless, as that doesn't produce any diagnostic if the
controlling expression isn't really constant. Instead, this patch makes
it so that a bit field gets used here. Consequently, those uses where the
condition isn't really constant now also need fixing.

Note that in the gfp.h, kmemcheck.h, and virtio_config.h cases
MAYBE_BUILD_BUG_ON() really just serves documentation purposes - even if
the expression is compile time constant (__builtin_constant_p() yields
true), the array is still deemed of variable length by gcc, and hence the
whole expression doesn't have the intended effect.
