Check for ethtool_ops structures that are only stored in the ethtool_ops field of a net_device structure or passed as the second argument to netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops. These contexts are declared const, so ethtool_ops structures that have these properties can be declared as const also. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct ethtool_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok1@ identifier r.i; struct net_device e; position p; @@ e.ethtool_ops = &i@p; @ok2@ identifier r.i; expression e; position p; @@ netdev_set_default_ethtool_ops(e, &i@p) @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok1.p,ok2.p}; identifier r.i; @@ i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct ethtool_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c index 8d4f849..46f9043 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c @@ -973,7 +973,7 @@ static int bcmgenet_nway_reset(struct net_device *dev) } /* standard ethtool support functions. */ -static struct ethtool_ops bcmgenet_ethtool_ops = { +static const struct ethtool_ops bcmgenet_ethtool_ops = { .get_strings = bcmgenet_get_strings, .get_sset_count = bcmgenet_get_sset_count, .get_ethtool_stats = bcmgenet_get_ethtool_stats, -- 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
