[lustre-devel] [PATCH] staging/lustre: echo_client.c - fix sparse warning: cast removes address space of expression

[Guillermo O. Freschi]

The function only cares about the value of the pointer, not the contents
of the pointed-to data. Adding a `__force` annotation to the cast
removes this warning.
