Subject: [PATCH 2/3] xtensa: fix type conversion in __get_user_size
Date: Fri, 22 May 2020 14:41:52 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200522214153.30163-3-jcmvbkbc@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200522214153.30163-1-jcmvbkbc@gmail.com>

8-byte access in __get_user_size converts pointer to temporary variable
to the type of original user pointer and then dereferences it, resulting
in the following sparse warning:

  sparse: warning: dereference of noderef expression

Instead dereference the original user pointer under the __typeof__ and
add indirection outside.
