Subject: [PATCH] rculist: fix sparse warning
Date: Fri, 12 Dec 2014 09:36:14 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1418348174-26797-1-git-send-email-ying.xue@windriver.com> (raw)
This fixes the following sparse warning when using
make C=1 CF=-D__CHECK_ENDIAN__ net/ipv6/addrconf.o
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:3495:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:3495:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:3495:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
net/ipv6/addrconf.c:3495:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)
To silence above spare complaint, an RCU annotation should be added to
"next" pointer of hlist_node structure through hlist_next_rcu() macro
when iterating over a hlist with hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu_bh().
By the way, this commit also resolves the same error appearing in
hlist_for_each_entry_continue_rcu().
