[PATCH] asm-generic: Force cast get_user() setting x to 0

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

 



If we call get_user() with an __le* or __be* type sparse will
complain when we assign the result to 0 on the faulting path.
Let's force cast here so that sparse doesn't complain. This
mirrors what we do in __get_user() as well.

I made a similar fix to arm64 headers, and it looks like asm-generic
would need the same fix.
