Subject: [PATCH] net: sched: Fix warnings from xchg() on RCU'd cookie pointer.
Date: Sun, 08 Jul 2018 17:03:58 +0900 (KST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180708.170358.1177815849312901978.davem@davemloft.net> (raw)
The kbuild test robot reports:
>> net/sched/act_api.c:71:15: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) @@ expected struct tc_cookie [noderef] <asn:4>*__ret @@ got [noderef] <asn:4>*__ret @@

>> net/sched/act_api.c:132:48: sparse: dereference of noderef expression
Handle this in the usual way by force casting away the __rcu annotation
when we are using xchg() on it.
