Hello Steven,

If I compile -rt13 I get some compile warnings on ARM (AT91):
1) This one did not exist in rt1:
In file included from kernel/sched.c:911:
kernel/sched_rt.c: In function 'dec_rt_tasks':
kernel/sched_rt.c:88: warning: unused variable 'highest_prio'
2) This one is there already for a much longer time:
CC kernel/rcupreempt.o
kernel/rcupreempt.c:1001: warning: 'per_cpu__rcu_dyntick_snapshot'
defined but not used

Both warnings are fixed by the attached patch, but warning 2 needs some review.
This var is defined twice in this file, 1 in the NO_HZ ifdef, and 1
which seems to be not used.

Kind Regards,

Remy

Hi Remy,

This would have been better to send this as two separate
patches. They are two different issues.

This is from Gregory Haskins' patch. He forgot to compile check for
warnings on UP again ;-)

This was a merge conflict being solved incorrectly.

Yeah, I'll look into it since I wrote that usage ;-)

Greg,

Can you merge the first part into your patch and resend it to me.

I'll look at the second one.

Thanks,

Doh!

Sure thing. Would you like me to update only the sched-devel patch, only the 23-rt13 patch, or both?
