From: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> In the patch cc154ac64aa8d3396b187f64cef01ce67f433324, Al Viro observed that the proper way to compute the distance between two structure fields is to use offsetof() or a cast to a pointer to character. The same change can be applied to a few more files. The change was made using the following semantic patch (http://www.emn.fr/x-info/coccinelle/) // <smpl> @r3 disable ptr_to_array@ type T; T *s; type T1, T2; identifier fld1; @@ ( (char *)&s->fld1 - (char *)s | (uint8_t *)&s->fld1 - (uint8_t *)s | (u8 *)&s->fld1 - (u8 *)s | - (T1)&s->fld1 - (T2)s + offsetof(T,fld1) ) // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@xxxxxxx> --- diff -u -p a/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c b/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c --- a/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c 2007-10-22 11:25:20.000000000 +0200 +++ b/drivers/scsi/BusLogic.c 2007-12-26 16:33:42.000000000 +0100 @@ -2856,7 +2856,10 @@ static int BusLogic_QueueCommand(struct CCB->Opcode = BusLogic_InitiatorCCB_ScatterGather; CCB->DataLength = Count * sizeof(struct BusLogic_ScatterGatherSegment); if (BusLogic_MultiMasterHostAdapterP(HostAdapter)) - CCB->DataPointer = (unsigned int) CCB->DMA_Handle + ((unsigned long) &CCB->ScatterGatherList - (unsigned long) CCB); + CCB->DataPointer = + (unsigned int) CCB->DMA_Handle + + offsetof(struct BusLogic_CCB, + ScatterGatherList); else CCB->DataPointer = Virtual_to_32Bit_Virtual(CCB->ScatterGatherList); - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
