The functions __bitmap_parse and __bitmap_parselist both take a pointer to a kernel buffer as a parameter and then cast it to a pointer to user buffer for use in cases when the parameter is_user indicates that the buffer is actually located in user space. This casting, and the casts in the callers, results in sparse noise like the following:
warning: incorrect type in initializer (different address spaces) expected char const [noderef] <asn:1>*ubuf got char const *buf warning: cast removes address space of expression
Since these casts are intentional, use __force to quiet the noise.
