Re: [Xen-devel] [PATCH] xen: remove incorrect forward declaration



Hi Stefano,

A bugfix patch for the xen balloon driver introduced a forward
declaration for a static function that is conditionally compiled,
causing a warning if only the declaration but not the definition
are there:

drivers/xen/balloon.c:154:13: error: 'release_memory_resource' declared 
'static' but never defined [-Werror=unused-function]
 static void release_memory_resource(struct resource *resource);

This removes the declaration again and instead moves the function
definition to the right place, before its first caller and inside
of the #ifdef protecting both.

The patch that introduced the warning is marked for stable
backports, so if that gets applied to 4.4, so should this one.

You have applied this patch to the branch for-linus-4.8 but not for-linus-4.7. Is it intentional?
