Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ovs: fix compiler error for passing NMDevice pointer to
 NM_DEVICE_OVS_INTERFACE_GET_PRIVATE()
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

NM_DEVICE_OVS_INTERFACE_GET_PRIVATE() is implemented via the _NM_GET_PRIVATE()
macro. This macro uses C11's _Generic() to provide additional compiler checks
when casting from an incompatible pointer type.

As such,

  NMDevice *device = ...;
  NMDeviceOvsInterfacePrivate *priv;

  priv = NM_DEVICE_OVS_INTERFACE_GET_PRIVATE (device);

causes a compilation error:

    error: ‘_Generic’ selector of type ‘NMDevice * {aka struct _NMDevice *}’ is not compatible with any association

One workaround would be to cast the pointer first:

  priv = NM_DEVICE_OVS_INTERFACE_GET_PRIVATE ((NMDeviceOvsInterface *) device);

A better fix is to mark NMDevice as a compatible pointer in _NM_GET_PRIVATE(),
which this patch does.

Previously, this went unnoticed, because due to bug "a43bf3388 build: fix configure
check for CC support of _Generic() and __auto_type", we failed to detect support
for _Generic() when compiling with -Werror. That essentially disables this check,
and NM_DEVICE_OVS_INTERFACE_GET_PRIVATE() would do a direct cast.

A workaround for this build failure might be to build with -Werror, which accidentally
results in not using _Generic().
