drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/: struct data_desc strangeness

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



drivers/net/wireless/rt2x00/rt2x00ring.h contains the following:

<--  snip  -->

...
/*
 * data_desc
 * Each data entry also contains a descriptor which is used by the
 * device to determine what should be done with the packet and
 * what the current status is.
 * This structure is greatly simplified, but the descriptors
 * are basically a list of little endian 32 bit values.
 * Make the array by default 1 word big, this will allow us
 * to use sizeof() correctly.
 */
struct data_desc {
        __le32 word[1];
};
...
/*
 * TX/RX Descriptor access functions.
 */
static inline void rt2x00_desc_read(struct data_desc *desc,
                                    const u8 word, u32 *value)
{
        *value = le32_to_cpu(desc->word[word]);
}

static inline void rt2x00_desc_write(struct data_desc *desc,
                                     const u8 word, const u32 value)
{
        desc->word[word] = cpu_to_le32(value);
}
...

<--  snip  -->

I haven't checked whether it might work in all cases, but passing 
non-zero values as second parameter to rt2x00_desc_{read,write}()
(as is done in many cases) is even in the best case bad coding style.

Spotted by the Coverity checker.

        of the darkness. There had been need of rain for many days.
       "Only a promise," Lao Er said.
