blk: rq_data_dir() should not return a boolean
rq_data_dir() returns either READ or WRITE (0 == READ, 1 == WRITE), not a boolean value. Now, admittedly the "!= 0" doesn't really change the value (0 stays as zero, 1 stays as one), but it's not only redundant, it confuses gcc, and causes gcc to warn about the construct switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { case READ: ... case WRITE: ... that we have in a few drivers. Now, the gcc warning is silly and stupid (it seems to warn not about the switch value having a different type from the case statements, but about _any_ boolean switch value), but in this case the code itself is silly and stupid too, so let's just change it, and get rid of warnings like this: drivers/block/hd.c: In function ‘hd_request’: drivers/block/hd.c:630:11: warning: switch condition has boolean value [-Wswitch-bool] switch (rq_data_dir(req)) { The odd '!= 0' came in when "cmd_flags" got turned into a "u64" in commit 5953316dbf90 ("block: make rq->cmd_flags be 64-bit") and is presumably because the old code (that just did a logical 'and' with 1) would then end up making the type of rq_data_dir() be u64 too. But if we want to retain the old regular integer type, let's just cast the result to 'int' rather than use that rather odd '!= 0'. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>
