Subject: [PATCH] ipc/shm: Use ERR_CAST() for shm_lock() error return
Date: Wed, 19 Sep 2018 11:07:22 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180919180722.GA15073@beast> (raw)
This uses ERR_CAST() instead of an open-coded cast, as it is casting
across structure pointers, which upsets __randomize_layout:
ipc/shm.c: In function ‘shm_lock’:
ipc/shm.c:209:9: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): ‘struct shmid_kernel’ and ‘struct kern_ipc_perm’
return (void *)ipcp;
^~~~~~~~~~~~
Fixes: 82061c57ce93 ("ipc: drop ipc_lock()")
