Hi Scott, I love your patch! Perhaps something to improve: [auto build test WARNING on driver-core/driver-core-testing] [also build test WARNING on next-20200421] [cannot apply to char-misc/char-misc-testing kselftest/next linus/master v5.7-rc2] [if your patch is applied to the wrong git tree, please drop us a note to help improve the system. BTW, we also suggest to use '--base' option to specify the base tree in git format-patch, please see https://stackoverflow.com/a/37406982] url: https://github.com/0day-ci/linux/commits/Scott-Branden/firmware-add-partial-read-support-in-request_firmware_into_buf/20200422-114528 base: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core.git 55623260bb33e2ab849af76edf2253bc04cb241f reproduce: # apt-get install sparse # sparse version: v0.6.1-191-gc51a0382-dirty make ARCH=x86_64 allmodconfig make C=1 CF='-fdiagnostic-prefix -D__CHECK_ENDIAN__' If you fix the issue, kindly add following tag as appropriate Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx> sparse warnings: (new ones prefixed by >>) >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:189:15: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) @@ expected struct bcm_vk_peer_log *p_ctl @@ got struct bcm_vk_peer_log *p_ctl @@ >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:189:15: sparse: expected struct bcm_vk_peer_log *p_ctl >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:189:15: sparse: got void [noderef] <asn:2> * >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:685:36: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from @@ got oderef] <asn:1> *from @@ >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:685:36: sparse: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:685:36: sparse: got struct vk_image *arg drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:780:36: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from @@ got oderef] <asn:1> *from @@ drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:780:36: sparse: expected void const [noderef] <asn:1> *from >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:780:36: sparse: got struct vk_reset *arg >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:858:45: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected struct vk_image *arg @@ got void [nstruct vk_image *arg @@ >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:858:45: sparse: expected struct vk_image *arg >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:858:45: sparse: got void [noderef] <asn:1> *argp >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:862:40: sparse: sparse: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces) @@ expected struct vk_reset *arg @@ got void [nstruct vk_reset *arg @@ >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:862:40: sparse: expected struct vk_reset *arg drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c:862:40: sparse: got void [noderef] <asn:1> *argp -- >> drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c:507:17: sparse: sparse: cast removes address space '<asn:2>' of expression drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c:707:15: sparse: sparse: cast removes address space '<asn:2>' of expression drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c:715:23: sparse: sparse: cast removes address space '<asn:2>' of expression drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c:871:31: sparse: sparse: cast removes address space '<asn:2>' of expression drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_msg.c:899:47: sparse: sparse: cast removes address space '<asn:2>' of expression vim +189 drivers/misc/bcm-vk/bcm_vk_dev.c 180 181 static void bcm_vk_dump_peer_log(struct bcm_vk *vk) 182 { 183 struct bcm_vk_peer_log log, *p_ctl; 184 char loc_buf[BCM_VK_PEER_LOG_LINE_MAX]; 185 int cnt; 186 struct device *dev = &vk->pdev->dev; 187 uint data_offset; 188 > 189 p_ctl = vk->bar[BAR_2] + vk->peerlog_off; 190 log = *p_ctl; 191 /* do a rmb() to make sure log is updated */ 192 rmb(); 193 194 dev_dbg(dev, "Peer PANIC: Size 0x%x(0x%x), [Rd Wr] = [%d %d]\n", 195 log.buf_size, log.mask, log.rd_idx, log.wr_idx); 196 197 cnt = 0; 198 data_offset = vk->peerlog_off + sizeof(struct bcm_vk_peer_log); 199 while (log.rd_idx != log.wr_idx) { 200 loc_buf[cnt] = vkread8(vk, BAR_2, data_offset + log.rd_idx); 201 202 if ((loc_buf[cnt] == '\0') || 203 (cnt == (BCM_VK_PEER_LOG_LINE_MAX - 1))) { 204 dev_err(dev, "%s", loc_buf); 205 cnt = 0; 206 } else { 207 cnt++; 208 } 209 log.rd_idx = (log.rd_idx + 1) & log.mask; 210 } 211 /* update rd idx at the end */ 212 vkwrite32(vk, log.rd_idx, BAR_2, vk->peerlog_off); 213 } 214 --- 0-DAY CI Kernel Test Service, Intel Corporation https://lists.01.org/hyperkitty/list/kbuild-all@xxxxxxxxxxxx
