[PATCH v4 REPOST 0/8] clean up wlan_bssdef.h

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I posted v4 of this patch set a week ago and there have been no 
comments. I hope this is a good sign that the patches are good.
However, I have noticed that I managed to use the same message id
for the coverletter of v4 as for v3, which might have caused people 
to hold off reviewing, perhaps thinking that earlier comments
had not been addressed.

Better safe than sorry, so I am reposting v4
My apologies for the noise on the mailing list.

The main goal of this series is to get rid of a needless typedef
in the rtl8712 wlan driver.

In the course of fixing that, I found a bug that can (at least in theory)
lead to a overrun during a memcpy, as well as an identical struct with
a different name, which use the typedef.
Finally after cleaning up the typedef, change the name of the primary
variable that used the typedef from "SupportedRates" to "rates", to
conform to kernel coding style.

Changes since V1:
Do not make other logic changes while Changing the name of SupportedRates
New patch 3/6 fixes a buggy comment that referred to the typedef

Changes since V2:
broke former patch 4 into 3 parts, as it was too big for git-send-email

Changes since V3:
In patch 8/8 Change the line wrapping of lines that fit within 80
characters, removing superfluous "== true" expressions that would 
otherwise keep the lines overlong.
