Subject: include/linux/cred.h: work around gcc-4.2.4 warning in get_cred()
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1c388ad054fb1ead3dc354b1719570b99e464135;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

include/linux/cred.h: work around gcc-4.2.4 warning in get_cred()

With gcc 4.2.4 (building UML) I get the warning

include/linux/cred.h: In function 'get_cred':
include/linux/cred.h:189: warning: passing argument 1 of
'get_new_cred' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

Inserting an additional local variable appears to keep the compiler happy,
although it's not clear to me why this should be needed.
