Subject: [PATCH] eventfs: Use ERR_CAST() in eventfs_create_events_dir()
Date: Wed, 18 Oct 2023 11:10:31 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231018-ftrace-fix-clang-randstruct-v1-1-338cb214abfb@kernel.org> (raw)

When building with clang and CONFIG_RANDSTRUCT_FULL=y, there is an error
due to a cast in eventfs_create_events_dir():

  fs/tracefs/event_inode.c:734:10: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct dentry *' to 'struct eventfs_inode *'
    734 |                 return (struct eventfs_inode *)dentry;
        |                        ^
  1 error generated.

Use the ERR_CAST() function to resolve the error, as it was designed for
this exact situation (casting an error pointer to another type).

Closes: https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1947
Fixes: 5790b1fb3d67 ("eventfs: Remove eventfs_file and just use eventfs_inode")
