The put_user(val,ptr) macro wants a pointer to a simple type, but in
fat_ioctl_filldir() the d_name field references an "array of chars". Be
more accurate and explicitly give the pointer to the first character of
the d_name[] array.
I noticed that issue while trying to optimize the parisc put_user()
macro and used an intermediate variable to store the pointer. In that
case I got this error:
In file included from include/linux/uaccess.h:11,
from include/linux/compat.h:17,
from fs/fat/dir.c:18:
fs/fat/dir.c: In function `fat_ioctl_filldir':

Andreas Schwab <schwab@linux-m68k.org> suggested to use
__typeof__(&*(ptr)) __ptr = ptr;
instead. This works, but nevertheless it's probably reasonable to fix
the original caller too.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
