workqueue: clean up WORK_* constant types, clarify masking
Dave Airlie reports that gcc-13.1.1 has started complaining about some of the workqueue code in 32-bit arm builds: kernel/workqueue.c: In function ‘get_work_pwq’: kernel/workqueue.c:713:24: error: cast to pointer from integer of different size [-Werror=int-to-pointer-cast] 713 | return (void *)(data & WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK); | ^ [ ... a couple of other cases ... ] and while it's not immediately clear exactly why gcc started complaining about it now, I suspect it's some C23-induced enum type handlign fixup in gcc-13 is the cause. Whatever the reason for starting to complain, the code and data types are indeed disgusting enough that the complaint is warranted. The wq code ends up creating various "helper constants" (like that WORK_STRUCT_WQ_DATA_MASK) using an enum type, which is all kinds of confused. The mask needs to be 'unsigned long', not some unspecified enum type. To make m...
