From ca79bec237f5809a7c3c59bd41cd0880aa889966 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Arnd Bergmann Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 16:55:34 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ipv6 sit: work around bogus gcc-8 -Wrestrict warning gcc-8 has a new warning that detects overlapping input and output arguments in memcpy(). It triggers for sit_init_net() calling ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd(), which is actually correct: net/ipv6/sit.c: In function 'sit_init_net': net/ipv6/sit.c:192:3: error: 'memcpy' source argument is the same as destination [-Werror=restrict] The problem here is that the logic detecting the memcpy() arguments finds them to be the same, but the conditional that tests for the input and output of ipip6_tunnel_clone_6rd() to be identical is not a compile-time constant. We know that netdev_priv(t->dev) is the same as t for a tunnel device, and comparing "dev" directly here lets the compiler figure out as well that 'dev == sitn->fb_tunnel_dev' when called from sit_init_net(), so it no longer warns. This code is old, so Cc stable to make sure that we don't get the warning for older kernels built with new gcc.
