Subject: [PATCH] niu: Add "overloaded" struct page union member
The randstruct GCC plugin gets upset when it sees struct addresspace
(which is randomized) being assigned to a struct page (which is not
randomized):
drivers/net/ethernet/sun/niu.c: In function 'niu_rx_pkt_ignore':
drivers/net/ethernet/sun/niu.c:3385:31: note: randstruct: casting between randomized structure pointer types (ssa): 'struct page' and 'struct address_space'
3385 | *link = (struct page *) page->mapping;
| ~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It looks like niu.c is looking for an in-line place to chain its
allocated pages together and is overloading the "mapping" member, as it
is unused.
I expect this change will be met with alarm, given the strange corner
case it is. I wonder if, instead of "mapping", niu.c should instead be
using the "private" member? It wasn't clear to me if this was safe, and
I have no hardware to test with.
No meaningful machine code changes result after this change, and source
readability is improved.
Drop the randstruct exception now that there is no "confusing" cross-type
assignment.
