Subject: [PATCH v2] netfilter: amanda: fix RCU pointer typing for nf_nat_amanda_hook
Date: Tue,  3 Feb 2026 22:55:11 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260203145511.164485-1-sun.jian.kdev@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260203080109.2682183-1-sun.jian.kdev@gmail.com>

Sparse reports "incompatible types in comparison expression" error in
nf_conntrack_amanda.c because nf_nat_amanda_hook is used with
rcu_dereference() but lacks the proper __rcu annotation.

Fix this by correctly placing the __rcu annotation inside the pointer
parentheses in both the declaration and definition. This allows the
standard rcu_dereference() to work correctly.

Suggested-by: Florian Westphal <fw@strlen.de>
Signed-off-by: Sun Jian <sun.jian.kdev@gmail.com>

v2:
  - Correctly place __rcu annotation inside the parentheses as
    suggested by Florian Westphal.
  - Use standard rcu_dereference() instead of rcu_dereference_raw().
