Subject: [PATCH] staging: lustre/lnet: Fix wrong typecasting warning generated by sparse
Date: Sun, 14 Feb 2016 08:51:48 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160214032148.GA19507@codebox> (raw)

Fix the following warning generated about type casting by sparse

warning: cast removes address space of expression

The current implementation casts the structure pointers with (char *)
without __user annotation and then adds sizeof struct to it, thereby
generating the sparse warning. Fixed this by removing the unnecessary
char pointer type cast.
