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/sn9c102/sn9c102_core.c | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/sn9c102/sn9c102_core.c b/drivers/media/usb/sn9c102/sn9c102_core.c index 5bfc8e2..4cae6f8 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/sn9c102/sn9c102_core.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/sn9c102/sn9c102_core.c @@ -2824,7 +2824,7 @@ sn9c102_vidioc_querybuf(struct sn9c102_device* cam, void __user * arg) b.index >= cam->nbuffers || cam->io != IO_MMAP) return -EINVAL; - memcpy(&b, &cam->frame[b.index].buf, sizeof(b)); + b = cam->frame[b.index].buf; if (cam->frame[b.index].vma_use_count) b.flags |= V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED; @@ -2927,7 +2927,7 @@ sn9c102_vidioc_dqbuf(struct sn9c102_device* cam, struct file* filp, f->state = F_UNUSED; - memcpy(&b, &f->buf, sizeof(b)); + b = f->buf; if (f->vma_use_count) b.flags |= V4L2_BUF_FLAG_MAPPED; -- 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
