Hello Arnd

I found compile warning while compiling module when using -Wsign-compare option.

include/linux/bitops.h: In function 'hweight_long':
include/linux/bitops.h:49: warning: signed and unsigned type in
conditional expression

I found the reason of this problem that the default return value of
the below macro is signed.

#define __const_hweight8(w)        \
      ( (!!((w) & (1ULL << 0))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 1))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 2))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 3))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 4))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 5))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 6))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 7))) )

So, I try to add (unsigned long) in __const_hweight8 like this.

#define __const_hweight8(w)     (unsigned long )        \
      ( (!!((w) & (1ULL << 0))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 1))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 2))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 3))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 4))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 5))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 6))) +       \
        (!!((w) & (1ULL << 7))) )

so, I can't see compile warning after fixing it, Would you plz check this ?

Thanks.

Yes, this looks correct to me. Could you send the change as a proper patch
with your Signed-off-by:?

Subject: [PATCH] compilation warning is caused when using hweight_long
with -Wsign-compare option.
 Warning message is '
 include/linux/bitops.h: In function 'hweight_long':
 include/linux/bitops.h:49: warning: signed and unsigned type in
conditional expression
 The reason is that the default return value of this macro is signed.
So, need type casting to remove warning.
