The MN10300 arch is throwing up an error in the SCSI driver and I'm not sure
whether it needs fixing in the arch - in get_user() - or in the SCSI code.
The problem is this line in sg_scsi_ioctl():
if (get_user(opcode, sic->data))
sic points to the following struct:
typedef struct scsi_ioctl_command {
unsigned int inlen;
unsigned int outlen;
unsigned char data[0];
} Scsi_Ioctl_Command;
However, __get_user_check() on MN10300 does this:
const __typeof__(ptr) __guc_ptr = (ptr);
which fails with:
block/scsi_ioctl.c:450: error: invalid initializer
The question is what is SCSI actually asking get_user() to do? As far as I
can tell, gcc thinks that it's being askied to declare some sort of array
here.
Should the SCSI driver be changed to:
if (get_user(opcode, (unsigned char *)sic->data))
or should the MN10300 arch be changed to morph the array into a pointer,
perhaps with:
const __typeof__(ptr[0])* __guc_ptr = (ptr);
or:
const __typeof__(*ptr)* __guc_ptr = (ptr);
