Isnt this (__rcu AS tag) sufficient? After all, sparse is complaining
about namespaces.

Creating a #define to cast seems excessive.

I am not very familiar with the rcu.
Adding __rcu tag could solve the problem. But it imported another warning
when I try to assign rcu_dereference(crash_vmclear_loaded_vmcss) to
do_vmclear_operation:

arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different modifiers)
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30:    expected void ( *do_vmclear_operation )( ... )
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30:    got void ( [noderef] *<noident> )( ... )
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30: warning: incorrect type in assignment (different modifiers)
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30:    expected void ( *do_vmclear_operation )( ... )
arch/x86/kernel/crash.c:49:30:    got void ( [noderef] *<noident> )( ... )

So I made the #define to cast its type.

If you have any suggestion, that'll be helpful.

Thanks

Try to use typedef.

Thanks. typedef works.
