From: Antonio Ospite <a...@amarulasolutions.com> Some audio drivers are calling snd_dma_continuous_data(GFP_KERNEL) which makes "sparse" give a warning:
$ make C=2 M=sound/usb modules ... sound/usb/6fire/pcm.c:625:25: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t sound/usb/caiaq/audio.c:845:41: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t sound/usb/usx2y/usbusx2yaudio.c:997:54: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t sound/usb/usx2y/usbusx2yaudio.c:1001:54: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t sound/usb/usx2y/usx2yhwdeppcm.c:774:54: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t sound/usb/usx2y/usx2yhwdeppcm.c:778:54: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t Add __force to the cast to silence the warning. Signed-off-by: Antonio Ospite <a...@amarulasolutions.com> --- CCing linux-kernel on just this patch of the series as there may be comments about this practice of forcing casts.
