Subject: [PATCH] devres: Correclty strip percpu address space of devm_free_percpu() argument
Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2024 10:33:52 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240830083406.9695-1-ubizjak@gmail.com> (raw)
devm_free_percpu() calls devres_release() with a pointer in percpu
address space. devres_release() expects pointers in the generic address
space, so address space needs to be stripped from the argument.
When strict percpu address space checks are enabled, then the current
direct cast from the percpu address space to the generic address space
fails the compilation on x86_64 with:
devres.c:1234:32: error: cast to generic address space pointer from disjoint ‘__seg_gs’ address space pointer
Add intermediate casts to unsigned long to remove address space of
the pointer before casting it to the generic AS, as advised in [1]
and [2].
Side note: sparse still requires __force, although the documentation
[2] allows casts to unsigned long without __force attribute.
Found by GCC's named address space checks.
There were no changes in the resulting object file.
