[PATCH v2 01/40] x86/uaccess: fix sparse errors

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



virtio wants to read bitwise types from userspace using get_user.  At the
moment this triggers sparse errors, since the value is passed through an
integer.

Fix that up using __force.
