From 7ae8639c9d6d5aba7990b4fad3506ff7b4667a45 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Eric Dumazet Date: Tue, 25 Jun 2013 01:21:06 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] tcp: remove invalid __rcu annotation struct tcp_fastopen_context has a field named tfm, which is a pointer to a crypto_cipher structure. It currently has a __rcu annotation, which is not needed at all. tcp_fastopen_ctx is the pointer fetched by rcu_dereference(), but once we have a pointer to current tcp_fastopen_context, we do not use/need rcu_dereference() to access tfm. This fixes a lot of sparse errors like the following : net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: warning: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces) net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: expected struct crypto_cipher *tfm net/ipv4/tcp_fastopen.c:21:31: got struct crypto_cipher [noderef] *tfm Signed-off-by: Eric Dumazet Cc: Jerry Chu Signed-off-by: David S.
