Linux kernel source tree
77461c1081
When CONFIG_DQL is not enabled, dql_group should be treated as a dead
declaration. However, its current extern declaration assumes the linker
will ignore it, which is generally true across most compiler and
architecture combinations.
But in certain cases, the linker still attempts to resolve the extern
struct, even when the associated code is dead, resulting in a linking
error. For instance the following error in loongarch64:
>> loongarch64-linux-ld: net-sysfs.c:(.text+0x589c): undefined reference to `dql_group'
Modify the declaration of the dead object to be an empty declaration
instead of an extern. This change will prevent the linker from
attempting to resolve an undefined reference.

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 reStructuredText 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.
