[PATCH v6 01/14] x86/mm: sparse warning fix for early_memremap

From: Dave Young
Date: Mon Dec 16 2013 - 04:31:37 EST


There's a lot of sparse warnings for code like below:
void *a = early_memremap(phys_addr, size);

early_memremap intend to map kernel memory with ioremap facility, the return
pointer should be a kernel ram pointer instead of iomem one.

For making the function clearer and supressing sparse warnings this patch
do below two things:
1. cast to (__force void *) for the return value of early_memremap
2. add early_memunmap function and pass (__force void __iomem *) to iounmap

>From Boris:
> Ingo told me yesterday, it makes sense too. I'd guess we can try it.
> FWIW, all callers of early_memremap use the memory they get remapped as
> normal memory so we should be safe.
