From: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@xxxxxxxxx> Subject: include/linux/relay.h: fix percpu annotation in struct rchan The percpu member of this structure is declared as: struct ... ** __percpu member; So its type is: __percpu pointer to pointer to struct ... But looking at how it's used, its type should be: pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ... and it should thus be declared as: struct ... * __percpu *member; So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of this structures. This silents a few Sparse's warnings like: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected void const [noderef] <asn:3> *__vpp_verify got struct sched_domain ** Link: http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20190118144902.79065-1-luc.vanoostenryck@xxxxxxxxx Fixes: 017c59c042d01 ("relay: Use per CPU constructs for the relay channel buffer pointers") Signed-off-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenryck@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: Jens Axboe <axboe@xxxxxxx> Cc: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- --- a/include/linux/relay.h~relay-fix-percpu-annotation-in-struct-rchan +++ a/include/linux/relay.h @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ struct rchan struct kref kref; /* channel refcount */ void *private_data; /* for user-defined data */ size_t last_toobig; /* tried to log event > subbuf size */ - struct rchan_buf ** __percpu buf; /* per-cpu channel buffers */ + struct rchan_buf * __percpu *buf; /* per-cpu channel buffers */ int is_global; /* One global buffer ? */ struct list_head list; /* for channel list */ struct dentry *parent; /* parent dentry passed to open */ _
