[libvirt] [RFC] virfile: fix cast-align error
Posted by Marc Hartmayer 7 years, 2 months ago 
Use the correct type in order to fix the following error on s390x:

In function 'virFileIsSharedFSType':
../../src/util/virfile.c:3578:38: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
         virFileIsSharedFixFUSE(path, (long *) &sb.f_type);

Using an unsigned int is fine as per statfs(2):

    NOTES
       The __fsword_t type used for various fields in the statfs structure defini‐
       tion is a glibc internal type, not intended for public  use.   This  leaves
       the programmer in a bit of a conundrum when trying to copy or compare these
       fields to local variables in a program.  Using unsigned int for such  vari‐
       ables suffices on most systems.

I would prefer an explicit cast though.

Should we also fix this cast?

This won't fly on x86_64 where f_type is long. I think we can use
__fsword_t directly.

Hmm, __fsword_t is still a long int but the f_type member is defined as
unsigned int in the userspace header. Also, I am against exposing any
internal data types.

virFileIsSharedFixFUSE could just return the value, the return value
right now is not checked anyways.

What header file are you looking at? From /usr/include/bits/statfs.h:

struct statfs
  {
    __fsword_t f_type;
    __fsword_t f_bsize;

/* ..... */

    __fsid_t f_fsid;
    __fsword_t f_namelen;
    __fsword_t f_frsize;
    __fsword_t f_flags;
    __fsword_t f_spare[4];
  };

It's not internal if it is exposed in a public header file.

Sure, but since you claim the f_type member is an unsigned type, then we
would hit the sign warning anyway.
Also, not sure. If virFileIsSharedFixFUSE() is unable to tell the
filesystem it should not touch the f_type at all.

It's s390x-specific hard-coded as an unsigned int.

Ok, then I guess Daniel's solution is the most simple one. I'll have
Marc send a v3 :)

[libvirt] [RFC v2] virfile: fix cast-align error
Posted by Marc Hartmayer 7 years, 2 months ago 
On s390x the struct member f_type of statsfs is hard coded to
'unsigned int'. So let's try to determine the type by means of the GNU
extension typeof.

This fixes the following error:
../../src/util/virfile.c:3578:38: error: cast increases required alignment of target type [-Werror=cast-align]
         virFileIsSharedFixFUSE(path, (long *) &sb.f_type);

Add a local variable

   long long f_type;

and then after the stat() call

   f_type = sb.f_type;

and change everything that follows to use the local variable

This also removes the need to cast to long long in this VIR_DEBUG
