From: Mark Rustad <[email protected]> It is a really bad idea to declare variables or parameters that have the same name as common types. It is valid C, but it gets surprising if a macro expansion attempts to declare an inner local with that type. Change the local names to eliminate the hazard.
Change s16 => str16, s8 => str8. This resolves warnings seen when using W=2 during make, for instance: drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c: In function ‘dup_variable_bug’: drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c:324:44: warning: declaration of ‘s16’ shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow] static void dup_variable_bug(efi_char16_t *s16, efi_guid_t *vendor_guid, drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c:328:8: warning: declaration of ‘s8’ shadows a global declaration [-Wshadow] char *s8; Signed-off-by: Mark Rustad <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Jeff Kirsher <[email protected]> --- v2: Updated patch description to add warning information and modified the variable names to str* instead of ps*, based on feed back from Matt Fleming drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c | 14 +++++++------- 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c b/drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c index 5abe943..afa3596 100644 --- a/drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c +++ b/drivers/firmware/efi/vars.c @@ -321,11 +321,11 @@ static unsigned long var_name_strnsize(efi_char16_t *variable_name, * Print a warning when duplicate EFI variables are encountered and * disable the sysfs workqueue since the firmware is buggy. */ -static void dup_variable_bug(efi_char16_t *s16, efi_guid_t *vendor_guid, +static void dup_variable_bug(efi_char16_t *str16, efi_guid_t *vendor_guid, unsigned long len16) { size_t i, len8 = len16 / sizeof(efi_char16_t); - char *s8; + char *str8; /* * Disable the workqueue since the algorithm it uses for @@ -334,16 +334,16 @@ static void dup_variable_bug(efi_char16_t *s16, efi_guid_t *vendor_guid, */ efivar_wq_enabled = false; - s8 = kzalloc(len8, GFP_KERNEL); - if (!s8) + str8 = kzalloc(len8, GFP_KERNEL); + if (!str8) return; for (i = 0; i < len8; i++) - s8[i] = s16[i]; + str8[i] = str16[i]; printk(KERN_WARNING "efivars: duplicate variable: %s-%pUl\n", - s8, vendor_guid); - kfree(s8); + str8, vendor_guid); + kfree(str8); } /** -- 1.9.3 -- 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/
