we use -Werror now, and warnings break the build so let's fixed it.

What commit does this fix? Why is this suddenly showing up now?

thanks,

This may be an issue caused by an upgrade in the GCC version.

Using GCC version 9.3.0, it can happily pass the build process.

However, when using GCC version 12.3.1, issues arise.

The initial build error stack is as follows:

cc -g -O2 -Werror -Wno-maybe-uninitialized -Wall -I. -I../include/ -I ../../usr/include/ -Wno-pointer-sign -fno-strict-overflow -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -MMD -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -include ../../include/linux/kconfig.h -mfunction-return=thunk -fcf-protection=none -mindirect-branch-register -pthread   -c -o virtio_test.o virtio_test.c In file included from ./linux/compiler.h:5,                  from ./linux/kernel.h:12,                  from ./linux/scatterlist.h:4,                  from ./linux/virtio.h:4,                  from ./linux/virtio_config.h:5,                  from ../../usr/include/linux/vhost_types.h:14,                  from ../../usr/include/linux/vhost.h:14,                  from virtio_test.c:17: ./linux/../../../include/linux/compiler_types.h:57: error: "__user" redefined [-Werror]

It should have first encountered the following #ifndef

https://elixir.bootlin.com/linux/v6.12.5/source/tools/include/linux/types.h#...

So I think the  modification should be as follows(Adjust the position of the header file),

What do you think?
