From 3f2baa8a7d2efaa836f1dc4b8ee8c3ca4ba9e101 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Olaf Hering Date: Thu, 10 Aug 2017 15:45:16 -0700 Subject: Tools: hv: update buffer handling in hv_fcopy_daemon Currently this warning is triggered when compiling hv_fcopy_daemon: hv_fcopy_daemon.c:216:4: warning: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Wstrict-aliasing] kernel_modver = *(__u32 *)buffer; Convert the send/receive buffer to a union and pass individual members as needed. This also gives the correct size for the buffer. Signed-off-by: Olaf Hering Signed-off-by: K. Y.
