From 8af50142763c6e70d426e45278b23d7103e5b7a7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yonghong Song Date: Tue, 13 Apr 2021 08:34:35 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] bpftool: Fix a clang compilation warning With clang compiler: make -j60 LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 <=== compile kernel # build selftests/bpf or bpftool make -j60 -C tools/testing/selftests/bpf LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 make -j60 -C tools/bpf/bpftool LLVM=1 LLVM_IAS=1 the following compilation warning showed up, net.c:160:37: warning: comparison of integers of different signs: '__u32' (aka 'unsigned int') and 'int' [-Wsign-compare] for (nh = (struct nlmsghdr *)buf; NLMSG_OK(nh, len); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ .../tools/include/uapi/linux/netlink.h:99:24: note: expanded from macro 'NLMSG_OK' (nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ^ ~~~ In this particular case, "len" is defined as "int" and (nlh)->nlmsg_len is "unsigned int". The macro NLMSG_OK is defined as below in uapi/linux/netlink.h. #define NLMSG_OK(nlh,len) ((len) >= (int)sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) && \ (nlh)->nlmsg_len >= sizeof(struct nlmsghdr) && \ (nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len)) The clang compiler complains the comparision "(nlh)->nlmsg_len <= (len))", but in bpftool/net.c, it is already ensured that "len > 0" must be true. So theoretically the compiler could deduce that comparison of "(nlh)->nlmsg_len" and "len" is okay, but this really depends on compiler internals. Let us add an explicit type conversion (from "int" to "unsigned int") for "len" in NLMSG_OK to silence this warning right now.
