From 01cbf838c775a2096b8b0704b499012d867332bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Kees Cook Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2025 23:07:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] net/mlx4_core: Adjust allocation type for buddy->bits In preparation for making the kmalloc family of allocators type aware, we need to make sure that the returned type from the allocation matches the type of the variable being assigned. (Before, the allocator would always return "void *", which can be implicitly cast to any pointer type.) The assigned type is "unsigned long **", but the returned type will be "long **". These are the same size allocation (pointer size) but the types do not match. Adjust the allocation type to match the assignment.
