From a63be500c6663a98cedda15c1bb380e9a34349e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Lawall Date: Thu, 4 May 2017 22:10:46 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] mtd: cfi_cmdset_0020: Drop unnecessary static Drop static on a local variable, when the variable is initialized before any use on every possible execution path through the function. The static has no benefit, and dropping it reduces the code size. The semantic patch that fixes this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // @bad exists@ position p; identifier x; type T; @@ static T x@p; ... x = <+...x...+> @@ identifier x; expression e; type T; position p != bad.p; @@ -static T x@p; ... when != x when strict ?x = e; // The change in code size is indicates by the following output from the size command. before: text data bss dec hex filename 16671 48 16 16735 415f drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.o after: text data bss dec hex filename 16639 48 8 16695 4137 drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.o Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall Signed-off-by: Brian Norris --- drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c b/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c index 94d3eb42c4d5..7d342965f392 100644 --- a/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c +++ b/drivers/mtd/chips/cfi_cmdset_0020.c @@ -666,7 +666,7 @@ cfi_staa_writev(struct mtd_info *mtd, const struct kvec *vecs, size_t totlen = 0, thislen; int ret = 0; size_t buflen = 0; - static char *buffer; + char *buffer; if (!ECCBUF_SIZE) { /* We should fall back to a general writev implementation. -- 2.20.1
