Subject: [PATCH] lib/iomem_copy: fix __iomem casts
Date: Mon, 22 Jun 2026 13:48:57 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260622124857.379868-1-ben.dooks@codethink.co.uk> (raw)

The iomem_copy.c code discards __iomem address space when using
the IS_ALIGNED() macro. It would make more sense to fix this in
one place by aing a PTR_ALIGNED_LONG() macro and then doing the
necessary casts there before invoking IS_ALIGNED().

As part of this, also force the pointer to an unsigned long as
pointers are generally not signed, although there is no warning
as yet on treating pointers as signed.
