[PATCH] staging: lustre: fix address space mismatches

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

 



This patch fixes address space warnings from sparse. Function
lprocfs_write_helper() accepts user space buffer but was being 
passed kernel space buffer by these functions:

contention_seconds_store()
lockless_truncate_store()

Since these functions are used to implement show and store functions of
lustre_attr object and since lustre_attr object is used to implement object
inheritance through use of `container_of`, the address space warnings
show up at multiple places inside driver's code base.

This patch creates a user space version of lustre_attr object lustre_attr_u.
Keeping function names and signatures same - other than the __user attribute -
ensures that object inheritance continues to work as it was, but address
space discrepency is removed. That removes a whole bunch of address
space warnings.
