6.9-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Uros Bizjak <ubizjak@xxxxxxxxx> commit a55c1fdad5f61b4bfe42319694b23671a758cb28 upstream. Fix Sparse warning when casting from __percpu address space by using __force in the cast. x86 named address spaces are not considered to be subspaces of the generic (flat) address space, so explicit casts are required to convert pointers between these address spaces and the generic address space (the application should cast to uintptr_t and apply the segment base offset). The cast to uintptr_t removes __percpu address space tag and Sparse reports: warning: cast removes address space '__percpu' of expression Use __force to inform Sparse that the cast is intentional.
