--- Comment #1 from Paul Menzel ([email protected]) --- Thank you. I also get this, but I only with “6.15-rc0” and not with 6.14. In my case, I bisected [1] the issue to commit 6a367577153a (percpu/x86:
enable strict percpu checks via named AS qualifiers) [2].

--- Comment #2 from Uros Bizjak ([email protected]) --- The patch at [1] fixes this issue. Actually, this warning is the root cause of previous report [2] and is due to genksyms not being prepared for new keywords.

So, either genksyms should be enhanced or a workaround [1] should be used.

--- Comment #3 from Paul Menzel ([email protected]) --- Thank you. Indeed, the warnings are gone with your patch. Sorry, for not checking that before.

@sander44, could you please confirm.
