Subject: [patch 09/19] fork: adjust sysctl_max_threads definition to match prototype
Date: Fri, 04 Sep 2020 16:35:49 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200904233549.BMYcHF_T9%akpm@linux-foundation.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20200904163454.4db0e6ce0c4584d2653678a3@linux-foundation.org>

Subject: fork: adjust sysctl_max_threads definition to match prototype
Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler")
changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the
definition of sysctl_max_threads to match its prototype in linux/sysctl.h
which fixes the following sparse error/warning:
kernel/fork.c:3050:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces)
kernel/fork.c:3050:47: expected void *
kernel/fork.c:3050:47: got void [noderef] __user *buffer
kernel/fork.c:3036:5: error: symbol 'sysctl_max_threads' redeclared with different type (incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces)):
kernel/fork.c:3036:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] sysctl_max_threads( ... )
kernel/fork.c: note: in included file (through include/linux/key.h, include/linux/cred.h, include/linux/sched/signal.h, include/linux/sched/cputime.h):
./include/linux/sysctl.h:242:5: note: previously declared as:
./include/linux/sysctl.h:242:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] sysctl_max_threads( ... )
