skb_put_data makes it unnecessary to store the skb_put return value to copy some data to the packet. The returned pointer of skb_put_data should therefore not stored by functions which previously only used it to copy some data. Signed-off-by: Sven Eckelmann <sven(a)narfation.org> --- This patch belongs to the series https://patchwork.open-mesh.org/project/b.a.t.m.a.n./list/?series=11 It must not be squashed in the "batman-adv: introduce and use skb_put_data()" because it is already part of net-next and we must port the change in our patch in a separate pull request. net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c | 4 +--- net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c | 4 ++-- 2 files changed, 3 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c b/net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c index a3501173..8769fa1b 100644 --- a/net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c +++ b/net/batman-adv/bat_iv_ogm.c @@ -729,11 +729,9 @@ static void batadv_iv_ogm_aggregate(struct batadv_forw_packet *forw_packet_aggr, const unsigned char *packet_buff, int packet_len, bool direct_link) { - unsigned char *skb_buff; unsigned long new_direct_link_flag; - skb_buff = skb_put_data(forw_packet_aggr->skb, packet_buff, - packet_len); + skb_put_data(forw_packet_aggr->skb, packet_buff, packet_len); forw_packet_aggr->packet_len += packet_len; forw_packet_aggr->num_packets++; diff --git a/net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c b/net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c index 1e3dc374..894c9637 100644 --- a/net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c +++ b/net/batman-adv/bat_v_ogm.c @@ -137,7 +137,7 @@ static void batadv_v_ogm_send(struct work_struct *work) struct batadv_priv *bat_priv; struct batadv_ogm2_packet *ogm_packet; struct sk_buff *skb, *skb_tmp; - unsigned char *ogm_buff, *pkt_buff; + unsigned char *ogm_buff; int ogm_buff_len; u16 tvlv_len = 0; int ret; @@ -166,7 +166,7 @@ static void batadv_v_ogm_send(struct work_struct *work) goto reschedule; skb_reserve(skb, ETH_HLEN); - pkt_buff = skb_put_data(skb, ogm_buff, ogm_buff_len); + skb_put_data(skb, ogm_buff, ogm_buff_len); ogm_packet = (struct batadv_ogm2_packet *)skb->data; ogm_packet->seqno = htonl(atomic_read(&bat_priv->bat_v.ogm_seqno)); -- 2.11.0
