[PATCH] memory-failure: fix section mismatch
From: Nick Desaulniers
Date: Sun Mar 04 2018 - 02:16:44 EST
Clang complains when a variable is declared extern twice, but with two
different sections. num_poisoned_pages is marked extern and __read_mostly
in include/linux/swapops.h, but only extern in include/linux/mm.h. Some
c source files must include both, and thus see the conflicting
declarations.
