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/usb/usbvision/usbvision-i2c.c | 3 +-- 1 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-i2c.c b/drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-i2c.c index 89fec02..ba262a3 100644 --- a/drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-i2c.c +++ b/drivers/media/usb/usbvision/usbvision-i2c.c @@ -189,8 +189,7 @@ int usbvision_i2c_register(struct usb_usbvision *usbvision) if (usbvision->registered_i2c) return 0; - memcpy(&usbvision->i2c_adap, &i2c_adap_template, - sizeof(struct i2c_adapter)); + usbvision->i2c_adap = i2c_adap_template; sprintf(usbvision->i2c_adap.name, "%s-%d-%s", i2c_adap_template.name, usbvision->dev->bus->busnum, usbvision->dev->devpath); -- 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/
