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 <olaf@aepfle.de> Signed-off-by: K. Y. Srinivasan <kys@microsoft.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
