gcc version 4.8.2 (GCC) warns that 'static int one = 1;' is declared but
not used in file net/core/sysctl_net_core.c.

Only when CONFIG_NET isn't set.

CONFIG_NET=y

Peculiar indeed.

Reading the file, that is
the case.  Attached is a patch to remove it.

$ git grep -w -n one net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:26:static int one = 1;
net/core/sysctl_net_core.c:332:         .extra2         = &one

Please use grep to augment reading.

grep -w -n one net/core/sysctl_net_core.c
26:static int one = 1;

?

I just don't have the &one.

I am confused now.

What source tree are you using?

Latest longterm 3.18.21

What changes in what branch exist?

I am not using git (if that is what you mean by 'branches') - just tarballs from kernel.org

btw: please use scripts/get_maintainer.pl to better
determine who should be cc'd on your patches.

you left out netdev.

Sorry, my bad, I need to learn/read more.

Thanks for your help/advice :)
