Subject: [PATCH] kvm: vfio: silence GCC warning
Date: Fri, 10 Jan 2014 01:28:46 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1389313726.2039.9.camel@x220> (raw)
Building vfio.o triggers a GCC warning (when building for 32 bits x86):
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/vfio.c: In function 'kvm_vfio_set_group':
arch/x86/kvm/../../../virt/kvm/vfio.c:104:22: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast]
void __user *argp = (void __user *)arg;
^
Silence this warning by casting arg to unsigned long.
argp's current type, "void __user *", is always casted to "int32_t
__user *". So its type might as well be changed to "int32_t __user *".
Signed-off-by: Paul Bolle <pebolle@tiscali.nl>

Compile tested on both 32 and 64 bits x86. I've no KVM capable hardware
that is already running v3.13-rc* at hand. Besides, I wouldn't know how
to test the codepaths I'm changing here.
