[PATCH v2] serial: vt8500_serial: Fix a parameter of find_first_zero_bit.

Show all headers | View raw

The 2nd parameter of 'find_first_zero_bit' is the number of bits to search.
In this case, we are passing 'sizeof(vt8500_ports_in_use)'.
'vt8500_ports_in_use' is an 'unsigned long'. So the sizeof is likely to
return 4 on a 32 bits kernel.

A few lines below, we check if it is below VT8500_MAX_PORTS, which is 6.

It is likely that the number of bits in a long was expected here.

In order to fix it:
   - use DECLARE_BITMAP when declaring the vt8500_ports_in_use
   - use VT8500_MAX_PORTS as a maximum value when checking/setting bits in
     this bitmap
   - modify code now that 'vt8500_ports_in_use' has become a pointer
     because of the use of DECLARE_BITMAP


It has been spotted by the following coccinelle script:
@@
expression ret, x;

@@
*  ret = \(find_first_bit \| find_first_zero_bit\) (x, sizeof(...));

v2: - use of VT8500_MAX_PORTS instead of BITS_PER_LONG to better self
      document the code
    - declare vt8500_ports_in_use with DECLARE_BITMAP in order to self
      document even better and to be foolproof should VT8500_MAX_PORTS
      be changed one day
