#1495883 — [PATCH] uapi: linux: acct: Remove redundant type comp2_t from kernel

Subject[PATCH] uapi: linux: acct: Remove redundant type comp2_t from kernel
Message-ID<soUK5-1DV-17@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Chen Gang <chengang@emindsoft.com.cn>

In api itself, kernel does not use it -- it is divided into ac_etime_hi
and ac_etime_lo. So kernel side only need generate the correct
ac_etime_hi and ac_etime_lo, but need not know about comp2_t.

At present, kernel use normal u64 type for it, when kernel provdes it to
outside, kernel can translate it into ac_etime_hi and ac_etime_lo,
directly, but need not notice about comp2_t, in fact.

The patch notices about coding styles:

 - Use 1 instead of 1ul, since type int is enough.

 - Use white space between operator and constant or macro.

 - Initialize variables directly, when declare it, since they need be
   initialized and can be initialized by constant (include constant
   macros).

 - Remove redundant empty line.

#1496591 — Re: [PATCH] uapi: linux: acct: Remove redundant type comp2_t from kernel

FromChen Gang <chengang@emindsoft.com.cn>

Message-ID<speIO-7Nv-35@gated-at.bofh.it>
In reply to#1495883
Hello:

For me if necessary, can add additional comments for it:

  If kernel will really need comp2_t in the future (I guess not), kernel
  can define it as a union with structures (need not must be the same as
  the user mode), which will be easier for kernel using. e.g.

	#pragma push(1)
	typedef union {
	#if ACCT_BYTEORDER == 0x80 /* big endian */
		struct {
			__u8  pad0;
			__u8  ac_etime_hi;
			__u16 ac_etime_lo;
		};
		struct {
			__u32 pad1 : 8;
			__u32 exp  : 5;
			__u32 mant : 19;
		};
	#else
		struct {
			__u16 ac_etime_lo;
			__u8  ac_etime_hi;
		};
		struct {
			__u32 mant : 19;
			__u32 exp  : 5;
		};
	#endif
		__u32 v;
	} comp2_t;
	#pragma pop()

  Some members may be not interested in bits definition (mant, exp), I
  guess, it is because of performance reason (but I am not quite sure).
  But ac_etime_lo and ac_etime_hi are useful.

  Although this definition may be better than u32, we can not change the
  uapi -- which may cause user mode application generate building break,
  e.g. some informal usage -- use u32 directly for shift operations.


Thanks.
