checkpatch.pl shouldn't approve assignment inside *if*. Though you're
moving it from the existing code, it wouldn't hurt to fix it.
I tried to touch as little as possible, and while I wouldn't use that
style myself, it is applied consistently in this driver, including the
wait_event line I'm adding, where I feel it actually makes sense.
I wasn't feeling sure about that one. It seems to me now that it doesn't
make much sense -- we could do the assignment beforehand.
if (file->f_flags & O_NONBLOCK)
return -EAGAIN;
- interruptible_sleep_on(&(rd_queue));
+ wait_event_interruptible(rd_queue, (inf =
+ *((struct divert_info **) file->private_data)));
Parens around assignment are hardly useful.
We get a gcc warning without them:
drivers/isdn/divert/divert_procfs.c:95:14: warning: suggest parentheses around
assignment used as truth value [-Wparentheses]
*((struct divert_info **) file->private_data));
Ah...
I can still change the first one (in both files) if you think it's important,
I always prefer checkpatch.pl-clean patches, though some people do argue
when they are just moving the badly styled code around.
but I'd rather not spend too much energy at coding style changes.
Let's wait for the maintainer's opinion on this.
