There is the rc variable on both myri10ge_ss_lock_napi and myri10ge_ss_lock_poll functions. In both cases rc is only assigned the values true and false. Both functions already return bool. Change rc type to bool. The simplified semantic patch that find this problem is as follows (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/): @exists@ type T; identifier b; @@ - T + bool b = ...; ... when any b = \(true\|false\) Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> --- Changes from v1: - Added subsystem prefix to shortlog drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c index 149355b..7792264 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/myricom/myri10ge/myri10ge.c @@ -934,7 +934,7 @@ static inline void myri10ge_ss_init_lock(struct myri10ge_slice_state *ss) static inline bool myri10ge_ss_lock_napi(struct myri10ge_slice_state *ss) { - int rc = true; + bool rc = true; spin_lock(&ss->lock); if ((ss->state & SLICE_LOCKED)) { WARN_ON((ss->state & SLICE_STATE_NAPI)); @@ -957,7 +957,7 @@ static inline void myri10ge_ss_unlock_napi(struct myri10ge_slice_state *ss) static inline bool myri10ge_ss_lock_poll(struct myri10ge_slice_state *ss) { - int rc = true; + bool rc = true; spin_lock_bh(&ss->lock); if ((ss->state & SLICE_LOCKED)) { ss->state |= SLICE_STATE_POLL_YIELD; -- 1.8.3.1 -- 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
