| |
While the endiannes is being handled correctly sparse was unhappy with the missing annotation as be16_to_cpu()/be32_to_cpu() expects a __be16 respectively __be32. To mitigate this annotation issue forced annotation is introduced. Note that this patch has no impact on the generated binary.

Problem located by an experimental cocci script to locate sparse annontation isues. net/sched/em_cmp.c:44:31: warning: cast to restricted __be16 net/sched/em_cmp.c:44:31: warning: cast to restricted __be16 net/sched/em_cmp.c:44:31: warning: cast to restricted __be16 net/sched/em_cmp.c:44:31: warning: cast to restricted __be16 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32 net/sched/em_cmp.c:54:31: warning: cast to restricted __be32
This is due to the variable being converted and thus the type is the teget system type and it must be caset to __be16/__be32 here for sparse to understand that endianness is adequately handled.
Patch was compile-tested with: x86_64_defconfig
Verification that the patch has no impact on the binary being generated was done by diff on the binary before and after applying the patch.
Patch is against 5.1-rc6 (localversion-next is next-20190426)
