Check for watchdog_ops structures that are only stored in the ops field of a watchdog_device structure. This field is declared const, so watchdog_ops structures that have this property 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 watchdog_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; struct watchdog_device e; position p; @@ e.ops = &i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct watchdog_ops e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct watchdog_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/watchdog/tegra_wdt.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/tegra_wdt.c b/drivers/watchdog/tegra_wdt.c index 9ec5760..2d53c3f 100644 --- a/drivers/watchdog/tegra_wdt.c +++ b/drivers/watchdog/tegra_wdt.c @@ -178,7 +178,7 @@ static const struct watchdog_info tegra_wdt_info = { .identity = "Tegra Watchdog", }; -static struct watchdog_ops tegra_wdt_ops = { +static const struct watchdog_ops tegra_wdt_ops = { .owner = THIS_MODULE, .start = tegra_wdt_start, .stop = tegra_wdt_stop, -- 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
