Use the timer API function setup_timer instead of init_timer, removing the structure field assignments. The simplified semantic patch used is :- <smpl> @timer@ expression e1,e2,e3,fn_ptr; @@ -init_timer(&e1); +setup_timer(&e1, fn_ptr, e2); ... when != fn_ptr = e3 -e1.function = fn_ptr; -e1.data = e2; </smpl> Signed-off-by: Muhammad Falak R Wani <falakreyaz@xxxxxxxxx> --- v2 changes: -> Change the subject line to a be more specific -> Add details about coccinelle in the commit log mfrw drivers/staging/rdma/ipath/ipath_driver.c | 7 +++---- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/rdma/ipath/ipath_driver.c b/drivers/staging/rdma/ipath/ipath_driver.c index 46d9898..577704a 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/rdma/ipath/ipath_driver.c +++ b/drivers/staging/rdma/ipath/ipath_driver.c @@ -2307,10 +2307,9 @@ void ipath_set_led_override(struct ipath_devdata *dd, unsigned int val) */ if (atomic_inc_return(&dd->ipath_led_override_timer_active) == 1) { /* Need to start timer */ - init_timer(&dd->ipath_led_override_timer); - dd->ipath_led_override_timer.function = - ipath_run_led_override; - dd->ipath_led_override_timer.data = (unsigned long) dd; + setup_timer(&dd->ipath_led_override_timer, + ipath_run_led_override, (unsigned long)dd); + dd->ipath_led_override_timer.expires = jiffies + 1; add_timer(&dd->ipath_led_override_timer); } else -- 1.9.1 _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
