The 0001-netdev_ops.cocci is fine but is uses Expression which makes the interpretation loose. We can reduce the namespace of the change by using struct. We have to keep expression on the right hand side as that can even be macros. For a full example test coverage of this change see the test netdev-ops github tree and run: make test1 git checkout -f make test2 The benefits should be clear, we are *not* modifying data structures that have similar names. This increases accuracy and security of our changes. The added run time penalty however is 50 seconds since we had to use --recursive-includes. The time penatly is worth it for the accuracy provided and since we'll likley need this flag elsewhere for other rules. mcgrof@drvbp1 ~/backports (git::master)$ time \ ./gentree.py --clean --refresh \ /home/mcgrof/linux-next \ /home/mcgrof/build/next-20140311 Copy original source files ...
