With certain version of gcc lov_obd.c failes to compile with the following warning. In function copy_to_user, inlined from lov_iocontrol at lustre/lustre/lov/lov_obd.c:1168: ./arch/x86/include/asm/uaccess.h:735: error: call to __copy_to_user_overflow declared with attribute warning: copy_to_user() buffer size is not probably correct In lov_iocontrol the data was being casted to int instead of the required unsigned long. This patch changes the cast to what is needed for copy_to_user.
