Use the timer API function setup_timer instead of structure field assignments to initialize a timer.
A simplified version of the Coccinelle semantic patch that performs this transformation is as follows: @change@ expression e1, e2, a; @@ -init_timer(&e1); +setup_timer(&e1, a, 0UL); ... when != a = e2 -e1.function = a; Signed-off-by: Vaishali Thakkar <vthakkar1...@gmail.com> --- drivers/atm/idt77105.c | 6 ++---- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/atm/idt77105.c b/drivers/atm/idt77105.c index 909c95b..feb023d 100644 --- a/drivers/atm/idt77105.c +++ b/drivers/atm/idt77105.c @@ -306,14 +306,12 @@ static int idt77105_start(struct atm_dev *dev) if (start_timer) { start_timer = 0; - init_timer(&stats_timer); + setup_timer(&stats_timer, idt77105_stats_timer_func, 0UL); stats_timer.expires = jiffies+IDT77105_STATS_TIMER_PERIOD; - stats_timer.function = idt77105_stats_timer_func; add_timer(&stats_timer); - init_timer(&restart_timer); + setup_timer(&restart_timer, idt77105_restart_timer_func, 0UL); restart_timer.expires = jiffies+IDT77105_RESTART_TIMER_PERIOD; - restart_timer.function = idt77105_restart_timer_func; add_timer(&restart_timer); } spin_unlock_irqrestore(&idt77105_priv_lock, flags); -- 1.9.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
