  • It seems like a historic accident that these return unsigned char *,
    and in many places that means casts are required, more often than not.

    Make these functions return void * and remove all the casts across
    the tree, adding a (u8 *) cast only where the unsigned char pointer
    was used directly, all done with the following spatch:

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    typedef u8;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - *(fn(SKB, LEN))
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression E, SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    type T;
    @@
    - E = ((T *)(fn(SKB, LEN)))
    + E = fn(SKB, LEN)

    @@
    expression SKB, LEN;
    identifier fn = { skb_push, __skb_push, skb_push_rcsum };
    @@
    - fn(SKB, LEN)[0]
    + *(u8 *)fn(SKB, LEN)

    Note that the last part there converts from push(...)[0] to the
    more idiomatic *(u8 *)push(...).

  • There were many places that my previous spatch didn't find,
    as pointed out by yuan linyu in various patches.

    The following spatch found many more and also removes the
    now unnecessary casts:

    @@
    identifier p, p2;
    expression len;
    expression skb;
    type t, t2;
    @@
    (
    -p = skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len);
    |
    -p = (t)skb_put(skb, len);
    +p = skb_put_zero(skb, len);
    )
    ... when != p
    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memset(p2, 0, len);
    |
    -memset(p, 0, len);
    )

    @@
    type t, t2;
    identifier p, p2;
    expression skb;

    +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t));
    |
    -p = (t *)skb_put(skb, sizeof(t));
    +p = skb_put_zero(skb, sizeof(t));
    )

    (
    p2 = (t2)p;
    -memset(p2, 0, sizeof(*p));
    |
    -memset(p, 0, sizeof(*p));
    )

    @@
    expression skb, len;
    @@
    -memset(skb_put(skb, len), 0, len);
    +skb_put_zero(skb, len);

    Apply it to the tree (with one manual fixup to keep the
    comment in vxlan.c, which spatch removed.)

  • There is only one NCSI request property for now: the response for
    the sent command need drive the workqueue or not. So we had one
    field (@driven) for the purpose. We lost the flexibility to extend
    NCSI request properties.

    This replaces @driven with @flags and @req_flags in NCSI request
    and NCSI command argument struct. Each bit of the newly introduced
    field can be used for one property. No functional changes introduced.

  • The NCSI command packets are sent from MC (Management Controller)
    to remote end. They are used for multiple purposes: probe existing
    NCSI package/channel, retrieve NCSI channel's capability, configure
    NCSI channel etc.

    This defines struct to represent NCSI command packets and introduces
    function ncsi_xmit_cmd(), which will be used to transmit NCSI command
    packet according to the request. The request is represented by struct
    ncsi_cmd_arg.
