Check for net_device_ops structures that are only stored in the netdev_ops field of a net_device structure. This field is declared const, so net_device_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 net_device_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; struct net_device e; position p; @@ e.netdev_ops = &i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct net_device_ops e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct net_device_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> The result of size on this file before the change is: text data bss dec hex filename 21623 1316 40 22979 59c3 drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.o and after the change it is: text data bss dec hex filename 22199 724 40 22963 59b3 drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.o Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c index c25d971..b5c4554 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/synopsys/dwc_eth_qos.c @@ -2761,7 +2761,7 @@ static const struct ethtool_ops dwceqos_ethtool_ops = { .set_link_ksettings = phy_ethtool_set_link_ksettings, }; -static struct net_device_ops netdev_ops = { +static const struct net_device_ops netdev_ops = { .ndo_open = dwceqos_open, .ndo_stop = dwceqos_stop, .ndo_start_xmit = dwceqos_start_xmit, -- 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
