From 453828625731d0ba7218242ef6ec88f59408f368 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tobias Klauser Date: Thu, 12 Jan 2017 16:53:11 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] x86/mpx: Use compatible types in comparison to fix sparse error info->si_addr is of type void __user *, so it should be compared against something from the same address space.
