This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled nvme: fix 32-bit build warning to the 4.2-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: nvme-fix-32-bit-build-warning.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.2 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 835da3f99d329b1160a1f7fc82c7ac81163d63d0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2015 22:29:48 +0200 Subject: nvme: fix 32-bit build warning From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx> commit 835da3f99d329b1160a1f7fc82c7ac81163d63d0 upstream. Compiling the nvme driver on 32-bit warns about a cast from a __u64 variable to a pointer: drivers/block/nvme-core.c: In function 'nvme_submit_io': drivers/block/nvme-core.c:1847:4: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] (void __user *)io.addr, length, NULL, 0); The cast here is intentional and safe, so we can shut up the gcc warning by adding an intermediate cast to 'uintptr_t'. I had previously submitted a patch to fix this problem in the nvme driver, but it was accepted on the same day that two new warnings got added. For clarification, I also change the third instance of this cast to use uintptr_t instead of unsigned long now.
