fat: use pointer to simple type in put_user()
The put_user(val,ptr) macro wants a pointer to a simple type, but in fat_ioctl_filldir() the d_name field references an "array of chars". Be more accurate and explicitly give the pointer to the first character of the d_name[] array. I noticed that issue while trying to optimize the parisc put_user() macro and used an intermediate variable to store the pointer. In that case I got this error: In file included from include/linux/uaccess.h:11, from include/linux/compat.h:17, from fs/fat/dir.c:18: fs/fat/dir.c: In function `fat_ioctl_filldir': fs/fat/dir.c:725:33: error: invalid initializer 725 | if (put_user(0, d2->d_name) || \ | ^~ include/asm/uaccess.h:152:33: note: in definition of macro `__put_user' 152 | __typeof__(ptr) __ptr = ptr; \ | ^~~ fs/fat/dir.c:759:1: note: in expansion of macro `FAT_IOCTL_FILLDIR_FUNC' 759 | FAT_IOCTL_FILLDIR_FUNC(fat_ioctl_filldir, __fat_dirent) Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> suggested to use __typeof__(&*(ptr)) __ptr = ptr; instead. This works, but nevertheless it's probably reasonable to fix the original caller too.
