Subject: Re: [patch] f2fs: dereferencing an ERR_PTR
Date: Thu, 23 May 2013 10:12:40 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130523101240.GG30128@mwanda> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20130523100213.GA19107@elgon.mountain>

Btw, Linus's new Sparse changes don't like the f2fs's NEW_ADDR
macro.

#define NEW_ADDR                -1U

We use it like this:

	block_t src, dest;

	if (src != dest && dest != NEW_ADDR && dest != NULL_ADDR) {

block_t is 64 bits so probably the macro should probably be:

#define NEW_ADDR               ((block_t)-1)

I'm not able to test this so there may be some reason why changing
this breaks something.  In that case we could do:

#define NEW_ADDR               ((u32)(block_t)-1) /* explanation */

regards,
dan carpenter
