Something changed recently to uncover this warning: samples/vfs/test-statx.c:24:15: warning: `struct foo' declared inside parameter list will not be visible outside of this definition or declaration 24 | #define statx foo | ^~~ Which is due the use of "struct statx" (here, "struct foo") in a function prototype argument list before it has been defined: int # 56 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" foo # 56 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" 3 4 (int __dirfd, const char *__restrict __path, int __flags, unsigned int __mask, struct # 57 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" foo # 57 "/usr/include/x86_64-linux-gnu/bits/statx-generic.h" 3 4 *__restrict __buf) __attribute__ ((__nothrow__ , __leaf__)) __attribute__ ((__nonnull__ (2, 5))); Add explicit struct before #include to avoid warning.

Linux kernel ============ There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at: https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/ There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
