From 1f1c1d7c89ee538f3e36b43098e95973f8fa37db Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2019 21:24:27 +0100 Subject: ipv6: Annotate bitwise IPv6 dsfield pointer cast The sparse commit 6002ded74587 ("add a flag to warn on casts to/from bitwise pointers") introduced a check for non-direct casts from/to restricted datatypes (when -Wbitwise-pointer is enabled). This triggered a warning in ipv6_get_dsfield() because sparse doesn't know that the buffer already points to some data in the correct bitwise integer format. This was already fixed in ipv6_change_dsfield() by the __force attribute and can be fixed here the same way. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann Signed-off-by: David S.
