Subject: [PATCH] xen/privcmd: fix static checker warning
Date: Thu, 7 Jun 2018 11:21:13 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1528366873-25430-1-git-send-email-paul.durrant@citrix.com> (raw)
Commit 3ad0876554ca ("xen/privcmd: add IOCTL_PRIVCMD_MMAP_RESOURCE")
introduced a static checker warning:
drivers/xen/privcmd.c:827 privcmd_ioctl_mmap_resource()
warn: passing casted pointer 'pfns' to 'xen_remap_domain_mfn_array()'
64 vs 32.
caused by this cast:
827 num = xen_remap_domain_mfn_array(vma,
828 kdata.addr & PAGE_MASK,
829 pfns, kdata.num, (int *)pfns,
^^^^^^^^^^^
The reason for the cast is that xen_remap_domain_mfn_array() requires an
array of ints to store error codes. It is actually safe to re-use the
pfns array for this purpose but it does look odd (as well as leading to
the warning). It would also be easy for a future implementation change
to make this re-use unsafe so this patch modifies privcmd to use a
separately allocated array for error codes.
