debugfs: Fix __rcu type comparison warning
Sparse reports the following: fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: sparse: incompatible types in comparison expression (different address spaces): fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: char [noderef] __rcu * fs/debugfs/file.c:942:9: sparse: char * rcu_assign_pointer() expects that it's assigning to pointers annotated with __rcu. We can't annotate the generic struct file::private_data, so cast it instead. Fixes: 86b5488121db ("debugfs: Add write support to debugfs_create_str()") Reported-by: kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com> Closes: https://lore.kernel.org/oe-kbuild-all/202309091933.BRWlSnCq-lkp@intel.com/ Signed-off-by: Mike Tipton <quic_mdtipton@quicinc.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20230922134512.5126-1-quic_mdtipton@quicinc.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
