Hi Christophe! [...]
This bitmap can be BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_LEGACY_NR or BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR long.
Ahh. OK. Given this an option would be to: do nothing (keep current status quo); allocate memory dynamically passing the "msi->nr" after it has been set accordingly; use BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR and waste a little bit of space. Perhaps moving to using the DECLARE_BITMAP() would be fine in this case too, at least to match style of other drivers more closely. Jim, Florian and Lorenzo - is this something that would be OK with you, or you would rather keep things as they were?
Addresses-Coverity: "Out-of-bounds access (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON)"
This tag would have to be written as:
Addresses-Coverity: ("Out-of-bounds access (ARRAY_VS_SINGLETON)")
[...]+ DECLARE_BITMAP (used, BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR);
Probably not the most elegant solution, but I would keep it as: DECLARE_BITMAP(used, BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR); Otherwise aligning either before or after the open bracket will cause either an error or a warning issued by checkpatch.pl accordingly about the style. Other users of this (a vast majoirty) macro don't do any specific alignment at large [...]
+ /* + * Sanity check to make sure that the 'used' bitmap in struct brcm_msi + * is large enough. + */ + BUILD_BUG_ON(BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_LEGACY_NR > BRCM_INT_PCI_MSI_NR);
A healthy paranoia, I see. :-) Krzysztof _______________________________________________ linux-arm-kernel mailing list linux-arm-kernel@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-arm-kernel
