From: Dave Chinner <dchinner@xxxxxxxxxx> Scrub checks the superblock version number against the known good feature bits that can be set in the version mask. It calculates the version mask to compare like so: vernum_mask = cpu_to_be16(~XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS | XFS_SB_VERSION_NUMBITS | XFS_SB_VERSION_ALIGNBIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_DALIGNBIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_LOGV2BIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_SECTORBIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_EXTFLGBIT | XFS_SB_VERSION_DIRV2BIT); This generates a sparse warning: fs/xfs/scrub/agheader.c:168:23: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (ffff3f8f becomes 3f8f) This is because '~XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS' is considered a 32 bit constant, even though it's value is always under 16 bits. This is a kinda silly thing to do, because: /* * Supported feature bit list is just all bits in the versionnum field because * we've used them all up and understand them all. Except, of course, for the * shared superblock bit, which nobody knows what it does and so is unsupported. */ #define XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS \ ((XFS_SB_VERSION_NUMBITS | XFS_SB_VERSION_ALLFBITS) & \ ~XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT) #define XFS_SB_VERSION_NUMBITS 0x000f #define XFS_SB_VERSION_ALLFBITS 0xfff0 #define XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT 0x0200 XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS has a value of 0xfdff, and so ~XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS == XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT. The calculated mask already sets XFS_SB_VERSION_SHAREDBIT, so starting with ~XFS_SB_VERSION_OKBITS is completely redundant....
