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 <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Ezequiel Garcia <[email protected]> --- drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-video.c | 3 +-- drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c | 6 ++---- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-video.c b/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-video.c index 1a21926..62be144 100644 --- a/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-video.c +++ b/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23885-video.c @@ -1818,8 +1818,7 @@ int cx23885_video_register(struct cx23885_dev *dev) spin_lock_init(&dev->slock); /* Initialize VBI template */ - memcpy(&cx23885_vbi_template, &cx23885_video_template, - sizeof(cx23885_vbi_template)); + cx23885_vbi_template = cx23885_video_template; strcpy(cx23885_vbi_template.name, "cx23885-vbi"); dev->tvnorm = cx23885_video_template.current_norm; diff --git a/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c b/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c index c2bc39c..e448146 100644 --- a/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c +++ b/drivers/media/pci/cx23885/cx23888-ir.c @@ -1236,13 +1236,11 @@ int cx23888_ir_probe(struct cx23885_dev *dev) cx23888_ir_write4(dev, CX23888_IR_IRQEN_REG, 0); mutex_init(&state->rx_params_lock); - memcpy(&default_params, &default_rx_params, - sizeof(struct v4l2_subdev_ir_parameters)); + default_params = default_rx_params; v4l2_subdev_call(sd, ir, rx_s_parameters, &default_params); mutex_init(&state->tx_params_lock); - memcpy(&default_params, &default_tx_params, - sizeof(struct v4l2_subdev_ir_parameters)); + default_params = default_tx_params; v4l2_subdev_call(sd, ir, tx_s_parameters, &default_params); } else { kfifo_free(&state->rx_kfifo); -- 1.7.4.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [email protected] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
