By the commit ecf081d 2010-07-28 vfs: introduce FMODE_NONOTIFY a new warning is produced. In include/linux/fs.h #define FMODE_NONOTIFY ((__force fmode_t)0x1000000) ::: #define OPEN_FMODE(flag) ((__force fmode_t)(((flag + 1) & O_ACCMODE) | \ (flag & FMODE_NONOTIFY))) In fs/anon_inodes.c anon_inode_getfile(..., int flags) { file = alloc_file(&path, OPEN_FMODE(flags), fops); } Here the '&' operator handles the passed integer "flags" and "__force fmode_t", and we get "warning: restricted fmode_t degrades to integer". Can we stop this warning? J. R.
