But since John is holding us somewhat hostage by saying he'll consider merging this, and apparently you don't have the taste to even consider the review comments you have gotten before, I took a brief look to *prove* that this driver cannot be merged as is. Here's a short list of things to fix: * __packed * ENTER/LEAVE must go * enum mwifiex_status must go -- use errno * private ioctls were grandfathered in, but aren't allowed in new drivers * do you really need your own crypto mode definitions? * your pseudo-kerneldoc comments "/**" don't conform to the right format * private locking wrappers are not allowed (mwifiex_spin_lock etc) * private debugging like PRINTM is not allowed * there's exactly one space after "#include" * struct eth_803_hdr? are you serious? and you even have it twice: struct eth_II_hdr * enum ieee_types_elementid_e must go * similarly, almost all of ieee.h * no bitfields and BIG_ENDIAN_BITFIELD allowed * not all allocations are GFP_ATOMIC, use wisely and GFP_KERNEL in most places * a wifi driver that's doing stuff with sockets (nl_sk, sk_socket)? explain, in MUCH detail (or preferably just get rid of it) * there's debugfs_remove_recursive * some functions like mwifiex_is_network_compatible need to be broken into smaller ones to avoid the crap indentation they have * mwifiex_uap_ap_cfg_parse_data. Must I say more? * struct mwifiex_buffer *mbuf? Is this a BSD driver? We have SKBs, get rid of this. (Oh and skbs have a CB) * mwifiex_init_lock/mwifiex_free_lock -- I'd laugh in your general direction if it wasn't so sad * mwifiex_util_peek_list etc.: learn about list.h * mwifiex_init_timer -- still sad, dynamically allocating timers? just like spinlocks, they can be embedded and make your code simpler Ok good enough, that should keep you busy for a while... The above is might be a good basis for a TODO file for staging... johannes -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-wireless" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
