Hi all,

After merging the tip tree, today's linux-next build (x86_64 allmodconfig) failed like this:

In file included from include/uapi/linux/stddef.h:1:0, from include/linux/stddef.h:4, from include/uapi/linux/posix_types.h:4, from include/uapi/linux/types.h:13, from include/linux/types.h:5, from include/linux/sysrq.h:18, from drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c:31: drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c: In function 'i915_hangcheck_elapsed': include/linux/compiler.h:542:50: error: incompatible types when initializing type 'const void * const' using type 'bool {aka _Bool}' __maybe_unused const void * const _________p2 = _________p1; \ ^ drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_irq.c:3098:7: note: in expansion of macro 'lockless_dereference' if (!lockless_dereference(dev_priv->gt.awake)) ^

Caused by commit

67d97da34917 ("drm/i915: Only start retire worker when idle")

from the drm-intel tree interacting with commit

331b6d8c7afc ("locking/barriers: Validate lockless_dereference() is used on a pointer type")

from the tip tree.

From include/linux/compiler.h:

* lockless_dereference() - safely load a pointer for later dereference * @p: The pointer to load

It looks like lockless_dererence() has been used incorrectly in the drm-intel tree commit since its argument must be a pointer to be dererenced later. The same thing is done in drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915_gem.c as well.

I have applied the following hack patch for now, but this needs to be fixed properly.
