I see new warnings with gcc-7.0.1 with the modified container_of():
fs/f2fs/dir.c: In function 'F2FS_I':
fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:1122:385: note: found mismatched ssa struct pointer types:
'struct f2fs_inode_info' and 'struct inode'
Is that actually a warning, or just informational? In any case, it
seems like a good idea to avoid it.
This seems to happen for all structures that have a zero offset
between the member and the container structure, i.e. idential
pointers.
Reverting to an intermediate pointer avoids the warning, and using
a void pointer instead of the target type should also avoid
regressing on the previous patch again.
Fixes: mmotm ("kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()")
