Before renaming, there is a global "thermal_pressure", and a local
"th_pressure" inside topology_update_thermal_pressure function. They
live together peacefully since they have different names.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, thermal_pressure);
^____
void topology_update_thermal_pressure(const struct cpumask *cpus,
unsigned long capped_freq)
{
unsigned long max_capacity, capacity, th_pressure;
^____
..
for_each_cpu(cpu, cpus)
WRITE_ONCE(per_cpu(thermal_pressure, cpu), th_pressure);
^____ ^____
}
After renaming, the global and local variables are both given the same
name "hw_pressure", so the local one shadows the global one, causing
this sparse warning.
DEFINE_PER_CPU(unsigned long, hw_pressure);
^___
void topology_update_hw_pressure(const struct cpumask *cpus,
unsigned long capped_freq)
{
unsigned long max_capacity, capacity, hw_pressure;
^___
..
for_each_cpu(cpu, cpus)
WRITE_ONCE(per_cpu(hw_pressure, cpu), hw_pressure);
^____ ^____
}
We can give them different names as before to fix this warning:
