In s390 platform, it gives a building error:
Manage.c: In function 'Manage_subdevs':
Manage.c:1502:5: error: passing argument 3 of 'fstat_is_blkdev' from incompatible pointer type [-Werror]
fstat_is_blkdev(tfd, dv->devname, &rdev);
^
In file included from Manage.c:25:0:
mdadm.h:1446:12: note: expected 'dev_t *' but argument is of type 'long unsigned int *'
It was introduced by 0a6bff09 and add a temp variable to fix this.

Dear Xiao,
Please find some comments and nits below.

Maybe: On s390 platform the build fails with the error below.

Maybe: It is introduced by commit 0a6bff09 (mdadm/util: unify fstat
checking blkdev into function). So use a temp variable to fix this.

Are ou sure that this won’t cause problems on other platforms
(32-bit/64-bit)?

Yes, the word so is better. Sorry for my pool English.

Ok, is it better to use device_id?

Could you explain this in detail? Function fstat_is_blkdev needs to pass a
dev_t variable to it. But rdev is unsinged long. So it needs to cast dev_t
to unsigned long.

It's not bad ... :-)
revert with
c/is/was/
Personally I probably wouldn't abbreviate "temporary", but that's a
matter of taste.

Sorry, I was probably wrong. I just remembered that long has different
sizes on 32-bit and 64-bit systems.
• /usr/include/sys/stat.h:typedef __dev_t dev_t;•
/usr/include/bits/types.h:__STD_TYPE __DEV_T_TYPE __dev_t; /* Type of
device numbers. */
• /usr/include/bits/typesizes.h:#define __DEV_T_TYPE __UQUAD_TYPE
So we depend on the assumption that `long unsigned int` is as long as
`__UQUAD_TYPE`. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find the definition for
`__UQUAD_TYPE`. So ignore my comment for now. Maybe somebody else can
shed some light.
Kind regards,
Paul
