Subject: lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address space
X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=b9c321fd87b61f70888511d286500519d8b34141;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git

lib/bitmap.c: quiet sparse noise about address space

__bitmap_parse() and __bitmap_parselist() both take a pointer to a kernel
buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use
in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually
located in user space.  This casting, and the casts in the callers,
results in sparse noise like the following:

	warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces)
	  expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf
	  got char const *buf
	warning: cast removes address space of expression

Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.
