[PATCH 3.16 024/192] xen: avoid type warning in xchg_xen_ulong

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

 



3.16.49-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@xxxxxxxx>

commit 9cc91f212111cdcbefa02dcdb7dd443f224bf52c upstream.

The improved type-checking version of container_of() triggers a warning for
xchg_xen_ulong, pointing out that 'xen_ulong_t' is unsigned, but atomic64_t
contains a signed value:

drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c: In function 'evtchn_2l_handle_events':
drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c:187:1020: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_187' declared with attribute error: pointer type mismatch in container_of()

This adds a cast to work around the warning.
