From cd8d860dcce906cd477be7d0648ba6f56a52eaa6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Boris Ostrovsky Date: Tue, 28 Feb 2017 11:32:22 -0500 Subject: jump_label: Fix anonymous union initialization Pre-4.6 gcc do not allow direct static initialization of members of anonymous structs/unions. After commit 3821fd35b58d ("jump_label: Reduce the size of struct static_key") STATIC_KEY_INIT_{TRUE|FALSE} definitions cannot be compiled with those older compilers. Placing initializers inside curved brackets works around this problem.

Boris fixed it with a patch that added brackets around the static initializer. But this creates a dependency between those initializers and the structure's order of its fields. Document this dependency in case new fields are added to struct static_key in the future.
