In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant to indicate an error condition. Each function is only called once. For nforce2_detect_chipset, the result is only compared to 0, and for longrun_determine_freqs, the result is stored in a variable of type (signed) int. Thus, for both functions, unsigned can be dropped from the return type. A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ identifier f; constant C; @@ unsigned f(...) { <+... * return -C; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c | 2 +- arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.c | 2 +- 2 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c index 733093d..141abeb 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/cpufreq-nforce2.c @@ -393,7 +393,7 @@ static struct cpufreq_driver nforce2_driver = { * Detects nForce2 A2 and C1 stepping * */ -static unsigned int nforce2_detect_chipset(void) +static int nforce2_detect_chipset(void) { nforce2_dev = pci_get_subsys(PCI_VENDOR_ID_NVIDIA, PCI_DEVICE_ID_NVIDIA_NFORCE2, diff --git a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.c b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.c index fc09f14..77945bf 100644 --- a/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.c +++ b/arch/x86/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/longrun.c @@ -165,7 +165,7 @@ static unsigned int longrun_get(unsigned int cpu) * TMTA rules: * performance_pctg = (target_freq - low_freq)/(high_freq - low_freq) */ -static unsigned int __cpuinit longrun_determine_freqs(unsigned int *low_freq, +static int __cpuinit longrun_determine_freqs(unsigned int *low_freq, unsigned int *high_freq) { u32 msr_lo, msr_hi; -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
