This patch as commit 42871c600cad ("migrate_pages: split
unmap_and_move() to _unmap() and _move()") in next-20230105 causes the
following error with clang when CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT is enabled, which is
the case with allmodconfig:
../mm/migrate.c:1041:15: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct address_space *' to 'struct anon_vma *'
*anon_vmap = (struct anon_vma *)dst->mapping;
^
1 error generated.
With GCC, there is only a note:
../mm/migrate.c: In function '__migrate_folio_extract':
../mm/migrate.c:1041:20: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): 'struct anon_vma' and 'struct address_space'
1041 | *anon_vmap = (struct anon_vma *)dst->mapping;
| ~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kees has done fixes for warnings and errors like this in the past (I
just ran
$ git log -p --grep='randomized structure pointer type'
to find them) but I did not see any that would seem appropriate here
hence just the report :)
Cheers,
Nathan
