From: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> [ Upstream commit 1980d37565061ab44bdc2f9e4da477d3b9752e81 ] (struct tipc_link_info)->dest is in network order (__be32), so we must convert the value to network order before assigning. The problem detected by sparse: net/tipc/netlink_compat.c:699:24: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different base types) net/tipc/netlink_compat.c:699:24: expected restricted __be32 [usertype] dest net/tipc/netlink_compat.c:699:24: got int Acked-by: Jon Maloy <jmaloy@xxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Hoang Le <hoang.h.le@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: David S.
