This is a situation where __must_check hurts us and it should be removed. Or this code is wrong and it should be WARN(sysfs_create_link(&devcd->devcd_dev.kobj, &dev->kobj, "failing_device"); like drivers/pci/controller/vmd.c and drivers/i2c/i2c-mux.c Either way, the do_empty() construct feels like the wrong way of covering up the warning.

So something like /* We will always clean up, we don't care whether this fails or succeeds */ (void)!!sysfs_create_link(...) There are other alternatives (like using WARN_ON_ONCE() instead, for example). So it depends on the code. Which is why that comment is important to show why the code chose that option. However, I wonder if in this case we should just remove the __must_check. Greg? It goes back a long long time. Particularly for the "nowarn" version of that function. I'm not seeing why you'd have to care, particularly if you don't even care about the link already existing.. Linus

I didn't think it really mattered _that_ much if the symlink suddenly went missing, but OTOH I don't even know how it could possibly fail. johannes

Ah, the function you add, nevermind, need more coffee...

It goes back a long long time. Yeah, maybe it is time to remove it, the gyrations people go through to remove the warning when they "know" they are doing it right feels pretty bad compared to forcing people to check things for "normal" calls to the function. thanks, greg k-h
