__htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch() stores a user pointer in the local variable ubatch and uses that in copy_{from,to}_user(), but ubatch misses a __user annotation. So, sparse warns in the various assignments and uses of ubatch: kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1415:24: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1415:24: expected void *ubatch kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1415:24: got void [noderef] __user * kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1444:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1444:46: expected void const [noderef] __user *from kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1444:46: got void *ubatch kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1608:16: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1608:16: expected void *ubatch kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1608:16: got void [noderef] __user * kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1609:26: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1609:26: expected void [noderef] __user *to kernel/bpf/hashtab.c:1609:26: got void *ubatch Add the __user annotation to repair this chain of propagating __user annotations in __htab_map_lookup_and_delete_batch().
