Well, the repo location I use is git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git.
It seem klp_get_state return struct klp_state.
The definition of this function in my repo as follows:
struct klp_state *klp_get_state(struct klp_patch *patch, unsigned long id)
{
struct klp_state *state;
klp_for_each_state(patch, state) {
if (state->id == id)
return state;
}
return NULL;
}
EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(klp_get_state);
Are you sure there is really a need for forced conversion?
