Fix the warning drivers/target/target_core_pr.c:332:3: warning: 'return'
with no value, in function returning non-void [-Wreturn-type]

The patch 35afa65642a9a88c81913377b93a3a66220f8b9d committed to 4.1.11
adds a check if device_list is NULL. The patch adds a return statement
without a value to the function core_scsi3_pr_seq_non_holder that returns
int.

<formletter>

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt
for how to do this properly.

This patch has no upstream equivalent (because the code in upstream was 
already refactored), so none of the rules in stable_kernel_rules.txt apply 
to it. The patch that broke it also has no upstream equivalent.


Documentation/stable_kernel_rules.txt

   --- Option 1 ---

   To have the patch automatically included in the stable tree, add the tag
     Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org
   in the sign-off area. Once the patch is merged it will be applied to
   the stable tree without anything else needing to be done by the author
   or subsystem maintainer.

   --- Option 2 ---

   After the patch has been merged to Linus' tree, send an email to
   stable@vger.kernel.org containing the subject of the patch, the commit ID,
   why you think it should be applied, and what kernel version you wish it to
   be applied to.

   --- Option 3 ---

   Send the patch, after verifying that it follows the above rules, to
   stable@vger.kernel.org.  You must note the upstream commit ID in the
   changelog of your submission, as well as the kernel version you wish
   it to be applied to.

Then you need to say that!

And the fact that a "please take this patch, it's correct but doesn't
apply to upstream" patch is now broken is proof of why I didn't want to
take it in the first place!

Ugh.  How about I just revert the original patch and then you send me
backports of what is actually in Linus's tree so we don't have this
problem anymore?

Oh, and you got the stable mailing list address wrong as well :(

Please fix all of this up and resend.

thanks,

greg k-h

The original patch that caused this compilation warning fixes some 
crashes, so you should not revert it. You can work with subsystem 
maintainers on backporting the refactored code from upstream to 4.1 - I 
don't know how hard or possible it is.
