Subject: [PATCH v3] staging: vt6655: ioctl.c - missing __user annotation
Date: Wed, 30 Jul 2014 18:29:57 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1406725197-18530-1-git-send-email-askb23@gmail.com> (raw)
- private_ioctl() internally calls copy_{to,from}_user() and does
not use '__user' which gives out several sparse warnings
- these sparse warnings were fixed by adding __user annotation to
the data member of struct tagSCmdRequest:
drivers/staging/vt6655/ioctl.c:78:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
drivers/staging/vt6655/ioctl.c:78:51: expected void const [noderef] asn:1>*from
drivers/staging/vt6655/ioctl.c:78:51: got void *data
Signed-off-by: Anil Belur <askb23@gmail.com>
---
v2:
- replaced the 'void __user *' casts by adding '__user' annotation to the data member of struct
tagSCmdRequest which is much cleaner approach as suggested by tklauser@distanz.ch
v1:
- added 'void __user *' casts to supress the warnings
