Subject: [PATCH v3 02/12] netfilter: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2020 17:52:08 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200415165218.20251-3-will@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200415165218.20251-1-will@kernel.org>

nf_remove_net_hook() uses WRITE_ONCE() to assign a 'const' pointer to a
'non-const' pointer. Cleanups to the implementation of WRITE_ONCE() mean
that this will give rise to a compiler warning, just like a plain old
assignment would do:

  | In file included from ./include/linux/export.h:43,
  |                  from ./include/linux/linkage.h:7,
  |                  from ./include/linux/kernel.h:8,
  |                  from net/netfilter/core.c:9:
  | net/netfilter/core.c: In function ‘nf_remove_net_hook’:
  | ./include/linux/compiler.h:216:30: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  |   *(volatile typeof(x) *)&(x) = (val);  \
  |                               ^
  | net/netfilter/core.c:379:3: note: in expansion of macro ‘WRITE_ONCE’
  |    WRITE_ONCE(orig_ops[i], &dummy_ops);
  |    ^~~~~~~~~~

Follow the pattern used elsewhere in this file and add a cast to 'void *'
to squash the warning.
