rcu: Shut up bogus gcc array bounds warning
Because gcc does not realize a loop would not be entered ever (i.e. in case of rcu_num_lvls == 1): for (i = 1; i < rcu_num_lvls; i++) rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + levelcnt[i - 1]; some compiler (pre- 5.x?) versions give a bogus warning: kernel/rcu/tree.c: In function ‘rcu_init_one.isra.55’: kernel/rcu/tree.c:4108:13: warning: array subscript is above array bounds [-Warray-bounds] rsp->level[i] = rsp->level[i - 1] + rsp->levelcnt[i - 1]; ^ Fix that warning by adding an extra item to rcu_state::level[] array. Once the bogus warning is fixed in gcc and kernel drops support of older versions, the dummy item may be removed from the array. Cc: "Paul E.
