Check for net_device_ops structures that are only stored in the netdev_ops field of a net_device structure. This field is declared const, so net_device_ops structures that have this property can be declared as const also.
The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @r disable optional_qualifier@ identifier i; position p; @@ static struct net_device_ops i@p = { ... }; @ok@ identifier r.i; struct net_device e; position p; @@ e.netdev_ops = &i@p; @bad@ position p != {r.p,ok.p}; identifier r.i; struct net_device_ops e; @@ e@i@p @depends on !bad disable optional_qualifier@ identifier r.i; @@ static +const struct net_device_ops i = { ... }; // </smpl> The result of size on this file before the change is: text data bss dec hex filename 7995 848 8 8851 2293 drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.o and after the change it is: text data bss dec hex filename 8571 256 8 8835 2283 drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.o Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia.law...@lip6.fr> --- drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c b/drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c index a90ab40..415ffa1 100644 --- a/drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c +++ b/drivers/net/ethernet/hisilicon/hip04_eth.c @@ -761,7 +761,7 @@ static const struct ethtool_ops hip04_ethtool_ops = { .get_drvinfo = hip04_get_drvinfo, }; -static struct net_device_ops hip04_netdev_ops = { +static const struct net_device_ops hip04_netdev_ops = { .ndo_open = hip04_mac_open, .ndo_stop = hip04_mac_stop, .ndo_get_stats = hip04_get_stats,
