cmpxchg() on some architectures (ia64) doesn't like functions as parameters. This results in the following compile error on the affected architectures. fs/aio.c: In function 'aio_thread_fn': fs/aio.c:1499:1: error: cast specifies function type Fixes: 6a81013efc40 ("aio: add support for IOCB_CMD_POLL via aio thread helper") Cc: Benjamin LaHaise <bcrl@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Guenter Roeck <linux@xxxxxxxxxxxx> --- No idea if this is the correct or an acceptable fix.
