devm_free_percpu() calls devres_release() with a pointer in percpu address space. devres_release() expects pointers in the generic address space, so address space needs to be stripped from the argument. When strict percpu address space checks are enabled, then the current direct cast from the percpu address space to the generic address space fails the compilation on x86_64 with: devres.c:1234:32: error: cast to generic address space pointer from disjoint ‘__seg_gs’ address space pointer Add intermediate casts to unsigned long to remove address space of the pointer before casting it to the generic AS, as advised in [1] and [2]. Side note: sparse still requires __force, although the documentation [2] allows casts to unsigned long without __force attribute. Found by GCC's named address space checks. There were no changes in the resulting object file.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
