This kind of memcpy() is error-prone. Its replacement with a struct assignment is prefered because it's type-safe and much easier to read. Found by coccinelle. Hand patched and reviewed. Tested by compilation only. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier struct_name; struct struct_name to; struct struct_name from; expression E; @@ -memcpy(&(to), &(from), E); +to = from; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c | 6 ++---- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c b/drivers/media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c index fb881c6..b62e925 100644 --- a/drivers/media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c +++ b/drivers/media/tuners/tda18271-maps.c @@ -1290,13 +1290,11 @@ int tda18271_assign_map_layout(struct dvb_frontend *fe) switch (priv->id) { case TDA18271HDC1: priv->maps = &tda18271c1_map_layout; - memcpy(&priv->std, &tda18271c1_std_map, - sizeof(struct tda18271_std_map)); + priv->std = tda18271c1_std_map; break; case TDA18271HDC2: priv->maps = &tda18271c2_map_layout; - memcpy(&priv->std, &tda18271c2_std_map, - sizeof(struct tda18271_std_map)); + priv->std = tda18271c2_std_map; break; default: ret = -EINVAL; -- 1.7.4.4 -- 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
