Subject: [PATCH] fs: btrfs: volumes.h: Annotate rcu_string with __rcu
Date: Thu,  5 Dec 2019 01:49:01 +0530	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20191204201901.22466-1-madhuparnabhowmik04@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Madhuparna Bhowmik <madhuparnabhowmik04@gmail.com>

This patch fixes the following sparse errors in
fs/btrfs/super.c in function btrfs_show_devname()

fs/btrfs/super.c: error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
fs/btrfs/super.c:    struct rcu_string [noderef] <asn:4> *
fs/btrfs/super.c:    struct rcu_string *

The error was because of the following line in function btrfs_show_devname():

if (first_dev)
       seq_escape(m, rcu_str_deref(first_dev->name), " \t\n\\");

rcu_str_deref is defined in fs/btrfs/rcu-string.h

And first_dev is of type struct btrfs_device.

struct btrfs_device is defined in fs/btrfs/volumes.h

Annotating the member  "struct rcu_string *name "  of struct btrfs_device
with __rcu fixes the sparse error.
