The percpu member of this structure is declared as: struct ... ** __percpu member; So its type is: __percpu pointer to pointer to struct ...
But looking at how it's used, its type should be: pointer to __percpu pointer to struct ... and it should thus be declared as: struct ... * __percpu *member; So fix the placement of '__percpu' in the definition of this structures. This silents a few Sparse's warnings like: warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected void const [noderef] <asn:3> *__vpp_verify got struct sched_domain ** CC: Akash Goel <akash.g...@intel.com> CC: Jens Axboe <ax...@suse.de> CC: Andrew Morton <a...@linux-foundation.org> CC: Thomas Gleixner <t...@linutronix.de> CC: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Fixes: 017c59c04 ("relay: Use per CPU constructs for the relay channel buffer pointers") Signed-off-by: Luc Van Oostenryck <luc.vanoostenr...@gmail.com> --- include/linux/relay.h | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/include/linux/relay.h b/include/linux/relay.h index e1bdf01a8..c759f96e3 100644 --- a/include/linux/relay.h +++ b/include/linux/relay.h @@ -66,7 +66,7 @@ struct rchan struct kref kref; /* channel refcount */ void *private_data; /* for user-defined data */ size_t last_toobig; /* tried to log event > subbuf size */ - struct rchan_buf ** __percpu buf; /* per-cpu channel buffers */ + struct rchan_buf * __percpu *buf; /* per-cpu channel buffers */ int is_global; /* One global buffer ? */ struct list_head list; /* for channel list */ struct dentry *parent; /* parent dentry passed to open */ -- 2.20.0
