Hi ext4 devs Adding the patch last in this mail cause lots of build errors in ext4, here is a few: fs/ext4/balloc.c: In function ‘ext4_init_block_bitmap’: fs/ext4/balloc.c:215:21: error: passing argument 2 of ‘__set_bit_le’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] ext4_set_bit(bit, bh->b_data); ^ In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:517:0, from ./include/linux/bitops.h:36, from ./include/linux/kernel.h:10, from ./include/linux/list.h:8, from ./include/linux/preempt.h:10, from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:50, from ./include/linux/seqlock.h:35, from ./include/linux/time.h:5, from fs/ext4/balloc.c:14: ./include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h:71:20: note: expected ‘long unsigned int *’ but argument is of type ‘char *’ static inline void __set_bit_le(int nr, unsigned long *addr) ^ fs/ext4/balloc.c:225:44: error: passing argument 2 of ‘__set_bit_le’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, tmp - start), bh->b_data); ^ In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:517:0, from ./include/linux/bitops.h:36, from ./include/linux/kernel.h:10, from ./include/linux/list.h:8, from ./include/linux/preempt.h:10, from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:50, from ./include/linux/seqlock.h:35, from ./include/linux/time.h:5, from fs/ext4/balloc.c:14: ./include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h:71:20: note: expected ‘long unsigned int *’ but argument is of type ‘char *’ static inline void __set_bit_le(int nr, unsigned long *addr) ^ fs/ext4/balloc.c:229:44: error: passing argument 2 of ‘__set_bit_le’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, tmp - start), bh->b_data); ^ In file included from ./arch/x86/include/asm/bitops.h:517:0, from ./include/linux/bitops.h:36, from ./include/linux/kernel.h:10, from ./include/linux/list.h:8, from ./include/linux/preempt.h:10, from ./include/linux/spinlock.h:50, from ./include/linux/seqlock.h:35, from ./include/linux/time.h:5, from fs/ext4/balloc.c:14: ./include/asm-generic/bitops/le.h:71:20: note: expected ‘long unsigned int *’ but argument is of type ‘char *’ static inline void __set_bit_le(int nr, unsigned long *addr) ^ fs/ext4/balloc.c:235:45: error: passing argument 2 of ‘__set_bit_le’ from incompatible pointer type [-Werror=incompatible-pointer-types] ext4_set_bit(EXT4_B2C(sbi, tmp - start), bh->b_data); I think ext4 needs some cleanup before my patch can be applied, what do you think?
