A simple cocci script that removes unnecessary casts of a void * will also remove casts with __force or __user
e.g.:
- xemaclite_aligned_write(address_ptr, (u32 __force *) addr, ETH_ALEN); + xemaclite_aligned_write(address_ptr, addr, ETH_ALEN);
Is there a simple mechanism to avoid converting those?
$ cat void.cocci @@ type T; void *v; expression e; @@
- e = (T *)v; + e = v;
@@ identifier f; type T; void *v; @@
f(..., - (T *)v, + v, ...)
