IS_ERR_VALUE() needs a pointer sized argument, so warn when any int sized arguments sneak in. When this happens a warning is generated: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Wint-to-pointer-cast] Based on Kernel commit aa00edc1287a ("make IS_ERR_VALUE() complain about non-pointer-sized arguments") Signed-off-by: Sascha Hauer <s.hauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- include/linux/err.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/err.h b/include/linux/err.h index 69efc7c4ac..db7ad6cc5b 100644 --- a/include/linux/err.h +++ b/include/linux/err.h @@ -19,7 +19,7 @@ #ifndef __ASSEMBLY__ -#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) unlikely((x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO) +#define IS_ERR_VALUE(x) unlikely((unsigned long)(void *)(x) >= (unsigned long)-MAX_ERRNO) static inline void *ERR_PTR(long error) { -- 2.30.2
