From a060dc5010ffa32f3a83e5336f6eeb6551fa137a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Hogan Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2014 13:07:35 +0100 Subject: vfs: workaround gcc <4.6 build error in link_path_walk() Commit d6bb3e9075bb ("vfs: simplify and shrink stack frame of link_path_walk()") introduced build problems with GCC versions older than 4.6 due to the initialisation of a member of an anonymous union in struct qstr without enclosing braces. This hits GCC bug 10676 [1] (which was fixed in GCC 4.6 by [2]), and causes the following build error: fs/namei.c: In function 'link_path_walk': fs/namei.c:1778: error: unknown field 'hash_len' specified in initializer This is worked around by adding explicit braces.
