Subject: [PATCH v2 20/40] metag: fix put_user sparse errors
Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2015 17:44:38 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1420558883-10131-21-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1420558883-10131-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com>

virtio wants to write bitwise types to userspace using put_user.
At the moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed
through an integer.

For example:

	__le32 __user *p;
	__le32 x;
	put_user(x, p);

is safe, but currently triggers a sparse warning.

Fix that up using __force.

This also fixes warnings due to writing a pointer out to
userland.

Note: this does not suppress any useful sparse checks since callers
do a cast (__typeof__(*(ptr))) (x) which in turn forces all the
necessary type checks.
