[PATCH] staging: lustre: fix min() comparison types lacks cast build warning

From: jmmahler
Date: Sun Jan 18 2015 - 05:55:55 EST


Recent changes to use the builtin min functions [1] introduced
type checking which wasn't present before. This resulted in
"comparision of distinct pointer types lacks a cast" build
warnings on non X86 architectures [2,3].

[3]: https://lists.01.org/pipermail/kbuild-all/2015-January/008589.html

The call to min() which resulted in this warning took the result
of kiblnd_rd_frag_size(), which returned a __u32, and the
variable 'resid', which is an int. 'resid' is inside a while
loop which is only entered if it is positive. Casting it as a
__u32 can be perormed without a loss of data or change in
functionality.

Fix the warning by casting 'resid' as a __u32.
