Subject: xen: avoid type warning in xchg_xen_ulong
From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
[ Upstream commit 9cc91f212111cdcbefa02dcdb7dd443f224bf52c ]
The improved type-checking version of container_of() triggers a warning for
xchg_xen_ulong, pointing out that 'xen_ulong_t' is unsigned, but atomic64_t
contains a signed value:
drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c: In function 'evtchn_2l_handle_events':
drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c:187:1020: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_187' declared with attribute error: pointer type mismatch in container_of()
This adds a cast to work around the warning.
