This patch avoids the following sparse warning: fs/dlm/user.c:111:38: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/dlm/user.c:111:38: expected void [noderef] __user *castparam fs/dlm/user.c:111:38: got void * fs/dlm/user.c:112:37: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/dlm/user.c:112:37: expected void [noderef] __user *castaddr fs/dlm/user.c:112:37: got void * fs/dlm/user.c:113:38: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/dlm/user.c:113:38: expected void [noderef] __user *bastparam fs/dlm/user.c:113:38: got void * fs/dlm/user.c:114:37: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/dlm/user.c:114:37: expected void [noderef] __user *bastaddr fs/dlm/user.c:114:37: got void * fs/dlm/user.c:115:33: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different address spaces) fs/dlm/user.c:115:33: expected struct dlm_lksb [noderef] __user *lksb fs/dlm/user.c:115:33: got void * fs/dlm/user.c:130:39: warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression fs/dlm/user.c:131:40: warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression fs/dlm/user.c:132:36: warning: cast removes address space '__user' of expression So far I see there is no direct handling of copying a pointer value to another pointer value. The handling only copies the actual pointer address to a scalar type or vice versa. This should be okay because it never handles dereferencing anything of those addresses in the kernel space. To get rid of those warnings we doing some different casting which results in no warnings in sparse or compiler.

README
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
