Is it really only me seeing this ?

drivers/vhost/vhost.c: In function 'translate_desc':
include/linux/compiler.h:549:38: error: call to '__compiletime_assert_1879' declared with attribute error: BUILD_BUG_ON failed: sizeof(_s) > sizeof(long)

i386:allyesconfig, mips:allmodconfig and others, everywhere including
mainline. Culprit is commit a89db445fbd7f1 ("vhost: block speculation
of translated descriptors").

Nope, I just got another report of this on 5.2.y. Problem is also in
Linus's tree :(


Sending a fix in a minute. I'll copy you and Linus.
