[Tordek]

This patch makes a lot of new warnings pop up, because the error is
blocking the rest of the file from being processed.

[Tordek]

This is fairly minor but it reveals a few hidden warnings, could I get
some feedback on it?

Thanks

This is a known problem, but can't immediately be fixed because it affects the interface with
userspace tools.  The correct solution is to not use struct list_head in the user interface
at all, and we are looking into that.

In the meantime, feel free to look at the warnings that are now visible after this patch is
applied (locally on your system).

Thanks, Andreas

Well, changing

struct lstcon_rpc_ent *ent;

to

struct lstcon_rpc_ent __user *ent;

makes most of the post-patch warnings disappear (and it... makes sense? we're calling `copy_to_user(&ent...` a lot, so I assume ent would be pointing to userspace memory).

But if this is meant to change, maybe it's a moot point to look at it at all.

Thanks!

[PATCH 1/2] drivers: staging/lustre: conrpc.c - fix sparse error: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces)

[Guillermo O. Freschi]

This patch reveals hidden warnings after this line.

(This is a stepping-stone patch for the following one, it should be
ignored as per Andreas Dilger.)

[PATCH 2/2] drivers: staging/lustre: conrpc.c - fix sparse warning: warning: incorrect type in argument * (different address spaces)

[Guillermo O. Freschi]

The calls to `copy_to_user` suggest that `ent` is pointing to userspace
memory, but `ent` is missing the `__user` qualifier.
