[PATCH] cgroup: avoid false positive gcc-6 warning

From: Arnd Bergmann
Date: Mon Mar 14 2016 - 18:36:48 EST


When all subsystems are disabled, gcc notices that cgroup_subsys_enabled_key
is a zero-length array and that any access to it must be out of bounds:

In file included from ../include/linux/cgroup.h:19:0,
from ../kernel/cgroup.c:31:
../kernel/cgroup.c: In function 'cgroup_add_cftypes':
../kernel/cgroup.c:261:53: error: array subscript is above array bounds [-Werror=array-bounds]
return static_key_enabled(cgroup_subsys_enabled_key[ssid]);
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~
../include/linux/jump_label.h:271:40: note: in definition of macro 'static_key_enabled'
static_key_count((struct static_key *)x) > 0; \
^

We should never call the function in this particular case, so this is
not a bug. In order to silence the warning, this adds an explicit check
for the CGROUP_SUBSYS_COUNT==0 case.
