Subject[PATCH] debugfs: Fix __rcu type comparison warning
Date
Sparse reports the following:

fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces):
fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: char [noderef] __rcu *
fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: char *

rcu_assign_pointer() expects that it's assigning to pointers annotated
with __rcu. We can't annotate the generic struct file::private_data, so
cast it instead.

Fixes: 86b5488121db ("debugfs: Add write support to debugfs_create_str()")
Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202309091933.BRWlSnCq-lkp@intel.com/
