Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre/lnet: Fix wrong type casting warning generated by sparse
Date: Sat, 13 Feb 2016 23:34:35 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160213180435.GA16246@codebox> (raw)
Fixed the following warning reported by sparse about typecasting. A
userspace pointer was being typecasted by simply (char *) which causes
sparse to give the following warning -
warning: cast removes address space of expression
Fixed it by adding __user annotation to the typecasting.
