The host_busy field in struct ide_host defaults to a signed-long, where most arch's test_and_set_bit_* macros use an unsigned long. Change to using an unsigned long, which on ARM removes the following sparse errors: drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:681:8: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different signedness) drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: expected unsigned long volatile *p drivers/ide/ide-io.c:695:3: got long volatile *<noident> Signed-off-by: Ben Dooks <ben-linux@xxxxxxxxx> Index: linux.git/include/linux/ide.h =================================================================== --- linux.git.orig/include/linux/ide.h 2009-01-09 14:38:45.000000000 +0000 +++ linux.git/include/linux/ide.h 2009-01-09 14:39:03.000000000 +0000 @@ -871,7 +871,7 @@ struct ide_host { ide_hwif_t *cur_port; /* for hosts requiring serialization */ /* used for hosts requiring serialization */ - volatile long host_busy; + volatile unsigned long host_busy; }; #define IDE_HOST_BUSY 0 -- Ben (ben@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.fluff.org/) 'a smiley only costs 4 bytes' -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
