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/usb/dvb-usb/friio-fe.c | 5 ++--- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/friio-fe.c b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/friio-fe.c index 90a70c6..d56f927 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/friio-fe.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/dvb-usb/friio-fe.c @@ -421,11 +421,10 @@ struct dvb_frontend *jdvbt90502_attach(struct dvb_usb_device *d) /* setup the state */ state->i2c = &d->i2c_adap; - memcpy(&state->config, &friio_fe_config, sizeof(friio_fe_config)); + state->config = friio_fe_config; /* create dvb_frontend */ - memcpy(&state->frontend.ops, &jdvbt90502_ops, - sizeof(jdvbt90502_ops)); + state->frontend.ops = jdvbt90502_ops; state->frontend.demodulator_priv = state; if (jdvbt90502_init(&state->frontend) < 0) -- 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
