No cast needed. Hi Geert, We constraints valid inputs as [0, UCHAR_MAX], so the code follows the comment as below. /* * Free reserved pages within range [PAGE_ALIGN(start), end & PAGE_MASK) * into the buddy system. The freed pages will be poisoned with pattern * "poison" if it's within range [0, UCHAR_MAX]. * Return pages freed into the buddy system. */
