[PATCH v2] powerpc/uaccess: fix warning/error with access_ok()

From: Christophe Leroy
Date: Thu Oct 18 2018 - 05:40:39 EST


With the following peace of code, the following compilation warning
is encountered:

if (_IOC_DIR(ioc) != _IOC_NONE) {
int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) & _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

if (!access_ok(verify, ioarg, _IOC_SIZE(ioc))) {

drivers/platform/test/dev.c: In function âmy_ioctlâ:
drivers/platform/test/dev.c:219:7: warning: unused variable âverifyâ [-Wunused-variable]
int verify = _IOC_DIR(ioc) & _IOC_READ ? VERIFY_WRITE : VERIFY_READ;

This patch fixes it by handing the type to __access_ok(), changing it
to an inline function for PPC64 as already done for PPC32
