Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops. These contexts are declared const, so ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const also. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok1@ identifier r.i; struct net_device e; position p; @@ e.ethtool_ops = &i@p; @ok2@ identifier r.i; expression e; position p; @@ netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops(e, &i@p) @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok1.p,ok2.p}; identifier r.i; @@ i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct ethtool_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> Suggested-by: Stephen Hemminger <stephen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/staging/netlogic/xlr_net.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/netlogic/xlr_net.c b/drivers/staging/netlogic/xlr_net.c index 99445d0..595ac1b 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/netlogic/xlr_net.c +++ b/drivers/staging/netlogic/xlr_net.c @@ -192,7 +192,7 @@ static int xlr_set_settings(struct net_device *ndev, struct ethtool_cmd *ecmd) return phy_ethtool_sset(phydev, ecmd); } -static struct ethtool_ops xlr_ethtool_ops = { +static const struct ethtool_ops xlr_ethtool_ops = { .get_settings = xlr_get_settings, .set_settings = xlr_set_settings, }; _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://driverdev.linuxdriverproject.org/mailman/listinfo/driverdev-devel
