The fcntl_rw_hint() has a missing __user annotation in the code when assinging argp. Add this to fix the following sparse warnings: fs/fcntl.c:280:22: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) fs/fcntl.c:280:22: expected unsigned long long [usertype] *argp fs/fcntl.c:280:22: got unsigned long long [noderef] [usertype] <asn:1> * fs/fcntl.c:287:34: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/fcntl.c:287:34: expected void [noderef] <asn:1> *to fs/fcntl.c:287:34: got unsigned long long [usertype] *argp fs/fcntl.c:291:40: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) fs/fcntl.c:291:40: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from fs/fcntl.c:291:40: got unsigned long long [usertype] *argp fs/fcntl.c:303:34: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) fs/fcntl.c:303:34: expected void [noderef] <asn:1> *to fs/fcntl.c:303:34: got unsigned long long [usertype] *argp fs/fcntl.c:307:40: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) fs/fcntl.c:307:40: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from fs/fcntl.c:307:40: got unsigned long long [usertype] *argp Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben.dooks@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Cc: Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "J.
