RDMA/bng_re: Remove prefetch instruction
The prefetch instruction is meant to speed up access to memory referenced by its address argument. In the bng_re code path, it has no effect, because the pointer refers to a function that is executed immediately afterward. The issue was identified due to the following kbuild compilation error: drivers/infiniband/hw/bng_re/bng_fw.c: In function 'bng_re_creq_irq': drivers/infiniband/hw/bng_re/bng_fw.c:278:9: error: implicit declaration of function 'prefetch' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration] 278 | prefetch(bng_re_get_qe(hwq, sw_cons, NULL)); | ^~~~~~~~ Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202511260607.Kuxn4NnN-lkp@intel.com/ Fixes: 4f830cd8d7fe ("RDMA/bng_re: Add infrastructure for enabling Firmware channel") Link: https://patch.msgid.link/20251126-remove-prefetch-v1-1-fcac22007ea7@nvidia.com Signed-off-by: Leon Romanovsky <leonro@nvidia.com>
