Check for uart_ops structures that are only stored in the ops field of a uart_port structure. This field is declared const, so uart_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 uart_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; struct uart_port e; position p; @@ e.ops = &i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct uart_ops e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct uart_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c b/drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c index 05089b6..817bb0d 100644 --- a/drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c +++ b/drivers/tty/serial/uartlite.c @@ -387,7 +387,7 @@ static void ulite_put_poll_char(struct uart_port *port, unsigned char ch) } #endif -static struct uart_ops ulite_ops = { +static const struct uart_ops ulite_ops = { .tx_empty = ulite_tx_empty, .set_mctrl = ulite_set_mctrl, .get_mctrl = ulite_get_mctrl, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-serial" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
