[PATCH] mm: fix vm_fault_t cast in VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX()

From: Jann Horn
Date: Wed Mar 27 2019 - 16:41:25 EST


Symmetrically to VM_FAULT_SET_HINDEX(), we need a force-cast in
VM_FAULT_GET_HINDEX() to tell sparse that this is intentional.

Sparse complains about the current code when building a kernel with
CONFIG_MEMORY_FAILURE:

arch/x86/mm/fault.c:1058:53: warning: restricted vm_fault_t degrades to
integer

Fixes: 3d3539018d2c ("mm: create the new vm_fault_t type")
