[PATCH] xen: avoid type warning in xchg_xen_ulong

From: Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>
Date: 2017-05-29 13:02:02

The improved type-checking version of container_of() triggers a warning for
xchg_xen_ulong, pointing out that 'xen_ulong_t' is unsigned, but atomic64_t
contains a signed value:

drivers/xen/events/events_2l.c: In function 'evtchn_2l_handle_events':
arch/x86/include/asm/cmpxchg.h:87:21: error: 'pending_words' is used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=uninitialized]

This adds a cast to work around the warning

Fixes: 85323a991d40 ("xen: arm: mandate EABI and use generic atomic operations.")
Fixes: daa2ac80834d ("kernel.h: handle pointers to arrays better in container_of()")

I don't think this is the warning message you wanted to paste here?
Other than that, the patch is fine.
