The function within is defined in the main.c file, but not called elsewhere, so remove this unused function.Huh? It's used by __module_text_address(), no?Not after commit 2ece476a2346 ("module: replace module_layout with module_memory") in -next. This patch should have a fixes tag, even if the warning is currently hidden behind W=1.Huh, I thought I had checked out latest -next, but must have not done so somehow :-) Mea culpa. If it's only in -next then no Fixes needed, since there's no stable rev yet. Jiapeng, in future, please make sure to cc the author of related commits when reporting stuff like this :-) It helps people to update their patches. Song, you probably want to update your patch.Luis, would you prefer a new patch with everything folded in? Or would you apply the patches on your end?
I've merged this patch separately onto modules-next and enhanced the commit log to explain its needed after your patch. Luis
