niu: Silence randstruct warnings
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Clang randstruct gets upset when it sees struct addresspace (which is
randomized) being assigned to a struct page (which is not randomized):

drivers/net/ethernet/sun/niu.c:3385:12: error: casting from randomized structure pointer type 'struct address_space *' to 'struct page *'
                        *link = (struct page *) page->mapping;
                                ^

It looks like niu.c is looking for an in-line place to chain its allocated
pages together and is overloading the "mapping" member, as it is unused.
This is very non-standard, and is expected to be cleaned up in the
future[1], but there is no "correct" way to handle it today.

No meaningful machine code changes result after this change, and source
readability is improved.

Drop the randstruct exception now that there is no "confusing" cross-type
assignment.

/* This driver wants to store a link to a "next page" within the
* page struct itself by overloading the content of the "mapping"
* member. This is not expected by the page API, but does currently
* work. However, the randstruct plugin gets very bothered by this
* case because "mapping" (struct address_space) is randomized, so
* casts to/from it trigger warnings. Hide this by way of a union,
* to create a typed alias of "mapping", since that's how it is
* actually being used here.
