Subject: [PATCH -mm] nilfs2: Use __field_struct() for a bitwise field

From: Bart Van Assche <bvanassche@....org>

As one can see in include/trace/stages/stage4_event_fields.h, the
implementation of __field() uses the is_signed_type() macro. As one can see
in commit dcf8e5633e2e ("tracing: Define the is_signed_type() macro once"),
there has been an attempt to not make is_signed_type() trigger sparse
warnings for bitwise types. Despite that change, sparse complains when
passing a bitwise type to is_signed_type(). It is not clear to me why.

Follow the example of <trace/events/initcall.h> and suppress the following
sparse warnings by changing __field() into __field_struct():

 fs/nilfs2/segment.c: note: in included file (through
   include/trace/trace_events.h, include/trace/define_trace.h,
   include/trace/events/nilfs2.h):
 ./include/trace/events/nilfs2.h:191:1: warning: cast to restricted
   blk_opf_t
 ./include/trace/events/nilfs2.h:191:1: warning: restricted blk_opf_t
   degrades to integer
 ./include/trace/events/nilfs2.h:191:1: warning: restricted blk_opf_t
   degrades to integer

Hi Andrew, Bart has completed a patch that fixes the sparse warnings
related to event trace header, as he kindly shared the link with you
earlier.

Here is the patch (I added a few tags), could you add this to your
tree queue?
I'll send this via email just in case since we don't usually exchange
links.

The patch "nilfs2: use integer type instead of enum req_op for event
tracing header" that I sent is no longer needed, so I will withdraw it.

Thanks,
Ryusuke Konishi
