From 112dc0c8069e5554e0ad29c58228f1e6ca49e13d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johannes Berg Date: Thu, 11 Aug 2016 11:50:22 +0200 Subject: locking/barriers: Suppress sparse warnings in lockless_dereference() After Peter's commit: 331b6d8c7afc ("locking/barriers: Validate lockless_dereference() is used on a pointer type") ... we get a lot of sparse warnings (one for every rcu_dereference, and more) since the expression here is assigning to the wrong address space. Instead of validating that 'p' is a pointer this way, instead make it fail compilation when it's not by using sizeof(*(p)). This will not cause any sparse warnings (tested, likely since the address space is irrelevant for sizeof), and will fail compilation when 'p' isn't a pointer type. Tested-by: Paul E.

Really, all we need is to have the expression *p in here somewhere to make sure p is a pointer type, and sizeof(*p) was the thing that came to my mind first to make sure that's done without really doing anything at runtime. Another thing I had considered was using typeof(*p), but obviously we can't just declare a typeof(*p) variable either, since that may end up being void. Declaring a variable as typeof(*p)* gets around that, and still checks that typeof(*p) is valid, so do that. This type construction can't be done for _________p1 because that will actually be used and causes sparse address space warnings, so keep a separate unused variable for it.
