Hello Yorick. The patch subject isn't very descriptive. A better subject might be something like: "staging: dgnc: Use a temporary for repeated dereferences" > diff --git a/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c b/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c [] > @@ -143,12 +143,14 @@ long dgnc_mgmt_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) > di.info_bdnum = brd; > > spin_lock_irqsave(&dgnc_Board[brd]->bd_lock, flags); > + struct dgnc_board *bd = dgnc_Board[brd]; Linux style doesn't declare variables in the middle of a function, Variables are only declared after an open brace. > > di.info_bdtype = dgnc_Board[brd]->dpatype; > di.info_bdstate = dgnc_Board[brd]->dpastatus; Please change all the references of dgnc_Board[brd]-> to bd-> in this function instead of just the long line ones. > di.info_ioport = 0; > di.info_physaddr = (ulong) dgnc_Board[brd]->membase; > - di.info_physsize = (ulong) dgnc_Board[brd]->membase - dgnc_Board[brd]->membase_end; > + di.info_physsize = bd->membase - bd->membase_end; > + > if (dgnc_Board[brd]->state != BOARD_FAILED) > di.info_nports = dgnc_Board[brd]->nasync; > else Something like: drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c | 20 +++++++++++--------- 1 file changed, 11 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c b/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c index b13318a..215f37b 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c +++ b/drivers/staging/dgnc/dgnc_mgmt.c @@ -129,8 +129,8 @@ long dgnc_mgmt_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) case DIGI_GETBD: { int brd; - struct digi_info di; + struct dgnc_board *bd; if (copy_from_user(&brd, uarg, sizeof(int))) return -EFAULT; @@ -142,19 +142,21 @@ long dgnc_mgmt_ioctl(struct file *file, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg) di.info_bdnum = brd; - spin_lock_irqsave(&dgnc_Board[brd]->bd_lock, flags); + bd = dgnc_Board[brd]; + + spin_lock_irqsave(&bd->bd_lock, flags); - di.info_bdtype = dgnc_Board[brd]->dpatype; - di.info_bdstate = dgnc_Board[brd]->dpastatus; + di.info_bdtype = bd->dpatype; + di.info_bdstate = bd->dpastatus; di.info_ioport = 0; - di.info_physaddr = (ulong) dgnc_Board[brd]->membase; - di.info_physsize = (ulong) dgnc_Board[brd]->membase - dgnc_Board[brd]->membase_end; - if (dgnc_Board[brd]->state != BOARD_FAILED) - di.info_nports = dgnc_Board[brd]->nasync; + di.info_physaddr = bd->membase; + di.info_physsize = bd->membase - bd->membase_end; + if (bd->state != BOARD_FAILED) + di.info_nports = bd->nasync; else di.info_nports = 0; - spin_unlock_irqrestore(&dgnc_Board[brd]->bd_lock, flags); + spin_unlock_irqrestore(&bd->bd_lock, flags); if (copy_to_user(uarg, &di, sizeof(di))) return -EFAULT; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
