From: Alexander Potapenko Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2017 18:27:30 +0000 (+0200) Subject: llist: clang: introduce member_address_is_nonnull() X-Git-Tag: v5.15~10810 X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=beaec533fc2701a28a4d667f67c9f59c6e4e0d13;p=platform%2Fkernel%2Flinux-starfive.git llist: clang: introduce member_address_is_nonnull() Currently llist_for_each_entry() and llist_for_each_entry_safe() iterate until &pos->member != NULL. But when building the kernel with Clang, the compiler assumes &pos->member cannot be NULL if the member's offset is greater than 0 (which would be equivalent to the object being non-contiguous in memory). Therefore the loop condition is always true, and the loops become infinite. To work around this, introduce the member_address_is_nonnull() macro, which casts object pointer to uintptr_t, thus letting the member pointer to be NULL.
