Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86/mm: Fix sparse warnings in untagged_ptr()
Date: Wed, 16 Nov 2022 03:43:53 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20221116004353.15052-3-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20221116004353.15052-1-kirill.shutemov@linux.intel.com>

Linear Address Masking patchset triggered a lot of sparse warnings.

The root cause is that casting pointer to '__typeof__(*(ptr)) *' will
strip all sparse tags. The type has to be defined based on the pointer
type, not based on what the pointer points to.

Fix cast in untagged_ptr() and avoid __typeof__() usage in
get/put_user().
