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/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c | 2 +- drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-i2c.c | 9 +++------ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c b/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c index 448361c..8830d6d 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-cards.c @@ -192,7 +192,7 @@ void au0828_card_setup(struct au0828_dev *dev) dprintk(1, "%s()\n", __func__); - memcpy(&dev->board, &au0828_boards[dev->boardnr], sizeof(dev->board)); + dev->board = au0828_boards[dev->boardnr]; if (dev->i2c_rc == 0) { dev->i2c_client.addr = 0xa0 >> 1; diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-i2c.c b/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-i2c.c index 4ded17f..71fbe59 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-i2c.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/au0828/au0828-i2c.c @@ -364,12 +364,9 @@ int au0828_i2c_register(struct au0828_dev *dev) { dprintk(1, "%s()\n", __func__); - memcpy(&dev->i2c_adap, &au0828_i2c_adap_template, - sizeof(dev->i2c_adap)); - memcpy(&dev->i2c_algo, &au0828_i2c_algo_template, - sizeof(dev->i2c_algo)); - memcpy(&dev->i2c_client, &au0828_i2c_client_template, - sizeof(dev->i2c_client)); + dev->i2c_adap = au0828_i2c_adap_template; + dev->i2c_algo = au0828_i2c_algo_template; + dev->i2c_client = au0828_i2c_client_template; dev->i2c_adap.dev.parent = &dev->usbdev->dev; -- 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
