Please search other same cases. For instance, 'grep' will be a good way to find it. static void slic_adapter_set_hwaddr(struct adapter *adapter) { struct sliccard *card = adapter->card; if ((adapter->card) && (card->config_set)) { memcpy(adapter->macaddr, card->config.MacInfo[adapter->functionnumber].macaddrA, sizeof(struct slic_config_mac)); if (is_zero_ether_addr(adapter->currmacaddr)) memcpy(adapter->currmacaddr, adapter->macaddr, ETH_ALEN); if (adapter->netdev) memcpy(adapter->netdev->dev_addr, adapter->currmacaddr, ETH_ALEN); } } Joe Perches, These are not spotted by checkpatch.pl. However, after modifying it as below, checkpatch warnings are printed. Would you confirm it? if (is_zero_ether_addr(adapter->currmacaddr)) memcpy(adapter->currmacaddr, adapter->macaddr, ETH_ALEN); if (adapter->netdev) memcpy(adapter->netdev->dev_addr, adapter->currmacaddr, ETH_ALEN); } Best regards, Jingoo Han > > mcaddr->next = adapter->mcastaddrs; > adapter->mcastaddrs = mcaddr; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
