From 514cc55b01eb7f34f9d1d4518f81e42a633c784e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Will Deacon Date: Tue, 17 Dec 2019 14:20:25 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] netfilter: Avoid assigning 'const' pointer to non-const pointer MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit nf_remove_net_hook() uses WRITE_ONCE() to assign a 'const' pointer to a 'non-const' pointer. Cleanups to the implementation of WRITE_ONCE() mean that this will give rise to a compiler warning, just like a plain old assignment would do: | In file included from ./include/linux/export.h:43, | from ./include/linux/linkage.h:7, | from ./include/linux/kernel.h:8, | from net/netfilter/core.c:9: | net/netfilter/core.c: In function ‘nf_remove_net_hook’: | ./include/linux/compiler.h:216:30: warning: assignment discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers] | *(volatile typeof(x) *)&(x) = (val); \ | ^ | net/netfilter/core.c:379:3: note: in expansion of macro ‘WRITE_ONCE’ | WRITE_ONCE(orig_ops[i], &dummy_ops); | ^~~~~~~~~~ Follow the pattern used elsewhere in this file and add a cast to 'void *' to squash the warning.
