I think this warning can be safely ignored.

When sending packets over vmbus, the address is passed as u64 and stored internally as u64 in vmbus_next_request_id(). Passing a 32 bit address will not lose any data. Later the address is retrieved from vmbus_request_addr() as a u64. Again, it will not lose data when casting to a 32 bit address.

This method of storing and retrieving addresses are used throughout other hyper-v drivers. If we want to not to trigger this warning, I suggest making a patch to convert all those usages in all hyper-v drivers.

Thanks,
Long
