From 0dbc81eab4d13f6d295da69c00e6efee2427b55c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "David S.

The kbuild test robot reports: >> net/sched/act_api.c:71:15: sparse: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) @@ expected struct tc_cookie [noderef] *__ret @@ got [noderef] *__ret @@ net/sched/act_api.c:71:15: expected struct tc_cookie [noderef] *__ret net/sched/act_api.c:71:15: got struct tc_cookie *new_cookie >> net/sched/act_api.c:71:13: sparse: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) @@ expected struct tc_cookie *old @@ got struct tc_cookie [noderef] *[assigned] __ret >> net/sched/act_api.c:132:48: sparse: dereference of noderef expression Handle this in the usual way by force casting away the __rcu annotation when we are using xchg() on it.
