[PATCH char-misc-linus v3 6/6] misc: mic: Suppress memory space sparse warnings

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



MIC card and host drivers are able to use virtio over the PCIe bus by
treating ioremap return values for the prefetchable BARs as pointers,
effectively treating I/O memory the same as system memory. However this
results in sparse warnings. Knowing that these warnings do not point to
a functional issue, this patch suppresses these warnings.
