[Question] sched: rt.c: kernel-doc warning

[Manuel Ebner]

Hi,

I'm trying to fix built warning and stumbled over this one:

$make W=1 -j8 > make_output.txt
In file included from kernel/sched/build_policy.c:52:
kernel/sched/rt.c:12:18: warning: ‘max_rt_runtime’ defined but not used [-Wunused-const-variable=]
   12 | static const u64 max_rt_runtime = MAX_BW;
      |                  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I just can't make sense of this, because max_rt_runtime is used later in the
file - see diff.
What am I missing?

Thanks
 Manuel Ebner
