Hi Fengguang,

Thanks for pointing this out we have a fix which addresses these issues.
What's interesting is I did not see these warnings I tried to reproduce
the errors on my setup. Is there a special flag we can use to reproduce
the sparse warnings.

Thanks for your help,
Jay-

Hi Vipul,

FYI, there are new sparse warnings show up in
