    Greetings -

    I'm getting the following error when compiling fault.c on test3-pre5:

    gcc -D__KERNEL__ -I/home/jrvb/dev/kernel/linux-2.4.0-test3-pre5/include
    -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O2 -fomit-frame-pointer -Werror
    -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -march=i586 -c -o fault.o fault.c
    cc1: warnings being treated as errors
    fault.c: In function `do_page_fault':
    fault.c:143: warning: `sem' might be used uninitialized in this function

    The line in question is just

            down(&mm->mmap_sem);

    The error goes away if I remove the "inline" modifier from the
    definition of down() in include/asm-i386/semaphore.h, but this clearly
    isn't the right thing to do... ;-) Does anyone have other suggestions?
