The list_entry( use is really ugly too with bad indentation on the following line. Look at the entire function: static u32 extract_qos_list(struct nic *nic, struct list_head *head) { struct qos_cb_s *qcb = &nic->qos; struct qos_entry_s *entry; int i; INIT_LIST_HEAD(head); for (i = 0; i < QOS_MAX; i++) { if (qcb->csr[i].enabled) { if (qcb->csr[i].qos_buf_count < qcb->qos_limit_size) { if (!list_empty(&qcb->qos_list[i])) { entry = list_entry( qcb->qos_list[i].prev, struct qos_entry_s, list); list_move_tail(&entry->list, head); qcb->csr[i].qos_buf_count++; if (!list_empty(&qcb->qos_list[i])) netdev_warn(nic->netdev, "Index(%d) is piled!!\n", i); } } } } return 0; } Please consider rewriting the function to reduce unnecessary indentation. Something like: static u32 extract_qos_list(struct nic *nic, struct list_head *head) { struct qos_cb_s *qcb = &nic->qos; int i; INIT_LIST_HEAD(head); for (i = 0; i < QOS_MAX; i++) { if (!qcb->csr[i].enabled || qcb->csr[i].qos_buf_count >= qcb->qos_limit_size) continue; if (!list_empty(&qcb->qos_list[i])) { struct qos_entry_s *entry; entry = list_entry(qcb->qos_list[i].prev, struct qos_entry_s, list); list_move_tail(&entry->list, head); qcb->csr[i].qos_buf_count++; if (!list_empty(&qcb->qos_list[i])) netdev_warn(nic->netdev, "Index(%d) is piled!!\n", i); } } return 0; } _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
