Sure, but this is not an existing warning but one that only gets introduced after the other patch gets backported, which I'd consider a different category.

Yes it is. for-linus-4.7 is based on an older version of the kernel that doesn't have dfd74a1edfab. Linus discourages rebasing the pull request branches. That said, the patch could still go to Linus earlies in one of the RCs. ___ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@lists.xen.org http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel

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