From e5fc436f06eef54ef512ea55a9db8eb9f2e76959 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Luc Van Oostenryck Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2020 10:53:01 +0200 Subject: sparse: use static inline for __chk_{user,io}_ptr() __chk_user_ptr() & __chk_io_ptr() are dummy extern functions which only exist to enforce the typechecking of __user or __iomem pointers in macros when using sparse. This typechecking is done by inserting a call to these functions. But the presence of these calls can inhibit some simplifications and so influence the result of sparse's analysis of context/locking. Fix this by changing these calls into static inline calls with an empty body.
