sched_domain: Annotate RCU pointers properly
The scheduler uses RCU API in various places to access sched_domain pointers. These cause sparse errors as below. Many new errors show up because of an annotation check I added to rcu_assign_pointer(). Let us annotate the pointers correctly which also will help sparse catch any potential future bugs. This fixes the following sparse errors: rt.c:1681:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression deadline.c:1904:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression core.c:519:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression core.c:1634:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:6193:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9883:22: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9897:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression sched.h:1287:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:612:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:615:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression sched.h:1300:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:618:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression sched.h:1287:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:621:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression sched.h:1300:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:624:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression topology.c:671:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression stats.c:45:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:5998:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:5989:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:5998:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:5989:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:6120:19: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:6506:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:6515:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:6623:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:5970:17: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:8642:21: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9253:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9331:9: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9519:15: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9533:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9542:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9567:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9597:14: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9421:16: error: incompatible types in comparison expression fair.c:9421:16: error: incompatible types in comparison expression Signed-off-by: Joel Fernandes (Google) <joel@joelfernandes.org> Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra (Intel) <peterz@infradead.org> [ From an RCU perspective. ] Reviewed-by: Paul E.
