I applied this patch to the current spares git code and reran my test and
now we have two warnings:
CHECK fs/ntfs/file.c
fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: warning: incorrect type in argument 8 (different
signedness)
fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: expected int [signed] ( [signed] [usertype]
get_block )( ... )
fs/ntfs/file.c:2241:5: got int [signed] ( static [toplevel] *<noident>
)( ... )
include/linux/fs.h:1791:14: warning: incorrect type in argument 8
(different signedness)

get_block )( ... )
include/linux/fs.h:1791:14: got int [signed] ( *get_block )( ... )
