[PATCH] netfilter: nfnetlink: silence warning if CONFIG_PROVE_RCUisn't set

From: Paul Bolle
Date: Mon Mar 04 2013 - 07:45:48 EST


Since commit c14b78e7decd0d1d5add6a4604feb8609fe920a9 ("netfilter:
nfnetlink: add mutex per subsystem") building nefnetlink.o without
CONFIG_PROVE_RCU set, triggers this GCC warning:
net/netfilter/nfnetlink.c:65:22: warning: ânfnl_get_lockâ defined but not used [-Wunused-function]

The cause of that warning is, in short, that rcu_lockdep_assert()
compiles away if CONFIG_PROVE_RCU is not set. Silence this warning by
open coding nfnl_get_lock() in the sole place it was called, which
allows to remove that function.

0) Compile tested only, but without CONFIG_PROVE_RCU set! This patch
needs building and running by someone who actually uses that option.

1) This patch triggers a checkpatch "line over 80 characters" warning.
But note that it actually shortens the line checkpatch complains about
(by one character!).
