The function guarantees type checking of arguments and return value. Result of rtw_netdev_priv macro can be assigned to pointer with incompatible type without warning. The function allow compiler to perform this check. Signed-off-by: Ivan Safonov <insafonov@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v2: - add blank line after function definition; - improve commit message. Changes in v3: - use proper argument name; - remove unnecessary parentheses. --- drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/osdep_service.h | 7 +++++-- 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/osdep_service.h b/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/osdep_service.h index 31d897f1d21f..b44d602e954a 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/osdep_service.h +++ b/drivers/staging/rtl8188eu/include/osdep_service.h @@ -71,8 +71,11 @@ struct rtw_netdev_priv_indicator { }; struct net_device *rtw_alloc_etherdev_with_old_priv(void *old_priv); -#define rtw_netdev_priv(netdev) \ - (((struct rtw_netdev_priv_indicator *)netdev_priv(netdev))->priv) +static inline struct adapter *rtw_netdev_priv(struct net_device *netdev) +{ + return ((struct rtw_netdev_priv_indicator *)netdev_priv(netdev))->priv; +} + void rtw_free_netdev(struct net_device *netdev); #define FUNC_NDEV_FMT "%s(%s)" -- 2.26.2 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
