Subject: [PATCH] net: qrtr: use protocol endiannes variable
Date: Fri, 10 May 2019 03:08:53 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1557450533-9321-1-git-send-email-hofrat@osadl.org> (raw)
sparse was unable to verify endianness correctness due to reassignment
from le32_to_cpu to the same variable - fix this warning up by providing
a proper __le32 type and initializing it. This is not actually fixing
any bug - rather just addressing the sparse warning.
Signed-off-by: Nicholas Mc Guire <hofrat@osadl.org>
---
Problem located by an experimental coccinelle script to locate
patters that make sparse unhappy (false positives):
sparse was unhappy about:
net/qrtr/qrtr.c:811:24: warning: cast to restricted __le32
The patch does change the binary - from inspection of the .lst files
it seems that the additional variable as well instruction reordering
constraints change the code even if the code-logic is the same.
Patch was compile-tested with: qcom_defconfig + QRTR=m
Patch is against 5.1 (localversion-next is next-20190509)
