In bset.h, macro bset_bkey_last() is defined as, bkey_idx((struct bkey *) (i)->d, (i)->keys) Parameter i can be variable type of data structure, the macro always works once the type of struct i has member 'd' and 'keys'. bset_bkey_last() is also used in macro csum_set() to calculate the checksum of a on-disk data structure. When csum_set() is used to calculate checksum of on-disk bcache super block, the parameter 'i' data type is struct cache_sb_disk. Inside struct cache_sb_disk (also in struct cache_sb) the member keys is __u16 type. But bkey_idx() expects unsigned int (a 32bit width), so there is problem when sending parameters via stack to call bkey_idx(). Sparse tool from Intel 0day kbuild system reports this incompatible problem. bkey_idx() is part of user space API, so the simplest fix is to cast the (i)->keys to unsigned int type in macro bset_bkey_last().
