Use timer API functions setup_timer and mod_timer instead of structure assignments as they are standard way to set the timer and to update the expire field of an active timer respectively.
This is done using Coccinelle and semantic patch used for this is as follows: // <smpl> @@ expression x,y,z,a,b; @@ -init_timer (&x); +setup_timer (&x, y, z); +mod_timer (&a, b); -x.function = y; -x.data = z; -x.expires = b; -add_timer(&a); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar <[email protected]> --- Changes since v1: -Change subject line -Change commit log drivers/net/ethernet/8390/axnet_cs.c | 7 ++----- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/8390/axnet_cs.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/8390/axnet_cs.c index 7769c05..ec6eac1 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/8390/axnet_cs.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/8390/axnet_cs.c @@ -484,11 +484,8 @@ static int axnet_open(struct net_device *dev) link->open++; info->link_status = 0x00; - init_timer(&info->watchdog); - info->watchdog.function = ei_watchdog; - info->watchdog.data = (u_long)dev; - info->watchdog.expires = jiffies + HZ; - add_timer(&info->watchdog); + setup_timer(&info->watchdog, ei_watchdog, (u_long)dev); + mod_timer(&info->watchdog, jiffies + HZ); return ax_open(dev); } /* axnet_open */ -- 1.9.1 -- 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/
