That doesn't explain it. The only thing I can figure is that there is
an implicit assumption somewhere that even though the pointer size may
be 64 bits, only the low order thirty-two bits are relevant in this
environment (i.e. upper bit are always zero for any pointers)-- so
then it would safe store pointers as u32 and to upcast them to void *.
If this is indeed the case, then we really need to make this explicit
to the user. Casting to long without comment just to avoid the
compiler warning is not good programming style, maybe a function
xdp_md_data_to_ptr or the like could be used.
