If it's a non-private format, the structure will have some empty padding space at the end of the structure after the last field for the format's type. Since it's just padding space and there are no fields defined, I don't think we have to clear it. > struct v4l2_format *f = (struct v4l2_format *)arg; > > +#define CLEAR_UNUSED_FIELDS(data, last_member) \ > + memset(((u8 *)f)+ \ > + offsetof(struct v4l2_format, fmt)+ \ > + sizeof(struct v4l2_ ## last_member), \ > + 0, \ > + sizeof(*f)- \ > + offsetof(struct v4l2_format, fmt)+ \ > + sizeof(struct v4l2_ ## last_member)) > + What is "data" used for? The length in your memset is wrong. You didn't run this through "make patch" did you? Because there are spacing/formatting errors that that would have caught. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
