From abec1a806e0c3cf168999667d5fb6218398ef12a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christoph Lameter Date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 19:01:58 +0000 Subject: percpu: Make __verify_pcu_ptr handle per cpu pointers to arrays __verify_pcpu_ptr() will cause a compilation failure if the type of the pointer is a pointer to a fixed array of objects. Adding zero to the pointer converts the type of pointer to that pointing to a single object of the array.
