This kind of memcpy() is error-prone. Its replacement with a struct assignment is prefered because it's type-safe and much easier to read. Found by coccinelle. Hand patched and reviewed. Tested by compilation only. A simplified version of the semantic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @@ identifier struct_name; struct struct_name to; struct struct_name from; expression E; @@ -memcpy(&(to), &(from), E); +to = from; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Peter Senna Tschudin <peter.senna@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <elezegarcia@xxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c | 2 +- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxd_hard.c | 5 ++--- drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0299.c | 2 +- 3 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c index b488791..2916d7c 100644 --- a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c +++ b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/cx24116.c @@ -819,7 +819,7 @@ static int cx24116_read_ucblocks(struct dvb_frontend *fe, u32 *ucblocks) static void cx24116_clone_params(struct dvb_frontend *fe) { struct cx24116_state *state = fe->demodulator_priv; - memcpy(&state->dcur, &state->dnxt, sizeof(state->dcur)); + state->dcur = state->dnxt; } /* Wait for LNB */ diff --git a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxd_hard.c b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxd_hard.c index 6d98537..dca1752 100644 --- a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxd_hard.c +++ b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/drxd_hard.c @@ -2963,7 +2963,7 @@ struct dvb_frontend *drxd_attach(const struct drxd_config *config, return NULL; memset(state, 0, sizeof(*state)); - memcpy(&state->ops, &drxd_ops, sizeof(struct dvb_frontend_ops)); + state->ops = drxd_ops; state->dev = dev; state->config = *config; state->i2c = i2c; @@ -2974,8 +2974,7 @@ struct dvb_frontend *drxd_attach(const struct drxd_config *config, if (Read16(state, 0, 0, 0) < 0) goto error; - memcpy(&state->frontend.ops, &drxd_ops, - sizeof(struct dvb_frontend_ops)); + state->frontend.ops = drxd_ops; state->frontend.demodulator_priv = state; ConfigureMPEGOutput(state, 0); return &state->frontend; diff --git a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0299.c b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0299.c index 92a6075..b57ecf4 100644 --- a/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0299.c +++ b/drivers/media/dvb-frontends/stv0299.c @@ -420,7 +420,7 @@ static int stv0299_send_legacy_dish_cmd (struct dvb_frontend* fe, unsigned long do_gettimeofday (&nexttime); if (debug_legacy_dish_switch) - memcpy (&tv[0], &nexttime, sizeof (struct timeval)); + tv[0] = nexttime; stv0299_writeregI (state, 0x0c, reg0x0c | 0x50); /* set LNB to 18V */ dvb_frontend_sleep_until(&nexttime, 32000); -- 1.7.4.4 -- 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
