From deb4605671cfae3b2803cfbbf4739e7245248398 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nathan Chancellor Date: Wed, 25 Mar 2026 18:20:30 -0700 Subject: modpost: Declare extra_warn with unused attribute A recent strengthening of -Wunused-but-set-variable (enabled with -Wall) in clang under a new subwarning, -Wunused-but-set-global, points out an unused static global variable in scripts/mod/modpost.c: scripts/mod/modpost.c:59:13: error: variable 'extra_warn' set but not used [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global] 59 | static bool extra_warn; | ^ This variable has been unused since commit 6c6c1fc09de3 ("modpost: require a MODULE_DESCRIPTION()") but that is expected, as there are currently no extra warnings at W=1 right now. Declare the variable with the unused attribute to make it clear to the compiler that this variable may be unused.
