[PATCH-ugly] kmemtrace: casting a gfp_t requires __force
From: Harvey Harrison
Date: Fri Nov 07 2008 - 13:59:12 EST
gfp_t is a bitwise type, casting to unsigned long produces a
warning. Suppress it with __force.
Otherwise sparse complains thusly:
include/linux/kmemtrace.h:33:2: warning: cast from restricted gfp_t

Eduard, this is a local patch I've had sitting around in my sparse testing
tree. I'm really not sure what the appropriate format specifier is for a
gfp_t, but I don't think the trace infrastructure has support for it
anyway...so if you are going to keep casting to unsigned long you'll need
this...perhaps with a comment why added.
