There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below: void *a = early_memremap(phys_addr, size); early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the return pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one. For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch do below two things: 1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap 2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap Signed-off-by: Dave Young <dyoung at redhat.com> --- arch/x86/include/asm/io.h | 3 ++- arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c | 10 +++++++--- 2 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/include/asm/io.h b/arch/x86/include/asm/io.h index 34f69cb..1db414f 100644 --- a/arch/x86/include/asm/io.h +++ b/arch/x86/include/asm/io.h @@ -325,9 +325,10 @@ extern void early_ioremap_init(void); extern void early_ioremap_reset(void); extern void __iomem *early_ioremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size); -extern void __iomem *early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, +extern void *early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size); extern void early_iounmap(void __iomem *addr, unsigned long size); +extern void early_memunmap(void *addr, unsigned long size); extern void fixup_early_ioremap(void); extern bool is_early_ioremap_ptep(pte_t *ptep); diff --git a/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c b/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c index 799580c..bbb4504 100644 --- a/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c +++ b/arch/x86/mm/ioremap.c @@ -562,10 +562,9 @@ early_ioremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size) } /* Remap memory */ -void __init __iomem * -early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size) +void __init *early_memremap(resource_size_t phys_addr, unsigned long size) { - return __early_ioremap(phys_addr, size, PAGE_KERNEL); + return (__force void *)__early_ioremap(phys_addr, size, PAGE_KERNEL); } void __init early_iounmap(void __iomem *addr, unsigned long size) @@ -620,3 +619,8 @@ void __init early_iounmap(void __iomem *addr, unsigned long size) } prev_map[slot] = NULL; } + +void __init early_memunmap(void *addr, unsigned long size) +{ + early_iounmap((__force void __iomem *)addr, size); +} -- 1.8.3.1
