From b0daa2c73f3a8ab9183a9d298495b583b6c1bd19 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Fri, 4 Sep 2020 16:35:49 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fork: adjust sysctl_max_threads definition to match prototype Commit 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") changed ctl_table.proc_handler to take a kernel pointer. Adjust the definition of sysctl_max_threads to match its prototype in linux/sysctl.h which fixes the following sparse error/warning: kernel/fork.c:3050:47: warning: incorrect type in argument 3 (different address spaces) kernel/fork.c:3050:47: expected void * kernel/fork.c:3050:47: got void [noderef] __user *buffer kernel/fork.c:3036:5: error: symbol 'sysctl_max_threads' redeclared with different type (incompatible argument 3 (different address spaces)): kernel/fork.c:3036:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] sysctl_max_threads( ... ) kernel/fork.c: note: in included file (through include/linux/key.h, include/linux/cred.h, include/linux/sched/signal.h, include/linux/sched/cputime.h): include/linux/sysctl.h:242:5: note: previously declared as: include/linux/sysctl.h:242:5: int extern [addressable] [signed] [toplevel] sysctl_max_threads( ... ) Fixes: 32927393dc1c ("sysctl: pass kernel pointers to ->proc_handler") Signed-off-by: Tobias Klauser Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Cc: Christoph Hellwig Cc: Al Viro Link: https://lkml.kernel.org/r/20200825093647.24263-1-tklauser@distanz.ch Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds --- kernel/fork.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/kernel/fork.c b/kernel/fork.c index 4d32190861bd..49677d668de4 100644 --- a/kernel/fork.c +++ b/kernel/fork.c @@ -3014,7 +3014,7 @@ int unshare_files(struct files_struct **displaced) } int sysctl_max_threads(struct ctl_table *table, int write, - void __user *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) + void *buffer, size_t *lenp, loff_t *ppos) { struct ctl_table t; int ret;
