Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] rust: task: use `as_char_ptr` instead of `as_ptr().cast()`
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 14:44:09 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260122144444.265412-1-gary@kernel.org> (raw)
From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>
`as_char_ptr` would provide the correct (unsigned char) type without
needing to convert to an intermediate type and cast the pointer.
The `as_ptr()` function is going to be disallowed by clippy warning, so fix
this usage.
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202601221157.89t3Sqbl-lkp@intel.com/
