[PATCH] etherdevice: introduce broadcast_ether_addr

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

A lot of code has either the memset or an
inefficient copy from a static array that
contains the all-ones broadcast address.
Introduce broadcast_ether_addr() to fill
an address with all ones, making the code
clearer and allowing us to get rid of the
various constant arrays.

I think this sort of patch should come as the first
patch in a series with some example conversions.

It might be too easy to confuse is_broadcast_ether_addr
with this function name too.  Maybe set_broadcast_ether_addr
might be better.

I really don't see an issue with using memset though.
Everyone already knows what that does.

Well, it's void so that'd be a compiler error :-)
Also, it's more like random_ether_addr()

I would prefer if this were named "eth_something()", thanks.

Shouldn't we see all that "lot of code" here in this same
commit, now using this new shortcut?  If we apply this, we
have a new function, but with no users.  If you have done
the audit, and found the inefficient cases, why isn't it here?

I would think it better to just fix those people who have a
pointless static array of all-ones to use the memset.  If it was a
multi line thing to achieve the eth_broadcast_addr() then it
might make sense to exist.  But as a one line alias, it does
seem somewhat pointless to me.

Paul.

I disagree and I intend to apply Johannes's patch as-is to net-next.

If I grepped properly, there are 42 instances of static arrays for
for broadcast ethernet addresses in drivers/net and drivers/staging
so it'd save some smallish amount of code by using a combination of
is_broadcast_ether_addr and this new func.

I think there are 53 instances of the memset(foo, 0xff, 6|ETH_ALEN).

> I disagree and I intend to apply Johannes's patch as-is to net-next.

Sounds fine to me.

For some additional style symmetry, how about a conversion of
random_ether_address to eth_random_addr too via

o Rename random_ether_addr to eth_random_addr and add a
  #define random_ether_addr eth_random_addr
o sed 's/\brandom_ether_addr\b/eth_random_addr/g' files_that_use_REA
o remove the #define after awhile

if you're really renaming the function, then this patch alone will break
all of the below users. That should all be a single patch, I'm afraid.

It would help if you actually read his patches before saying what they
might or might not do.

He provides a macro in the first patch that provides the old name,
and this will get removed at the end.

that's why I put an "if" there. The subject was misleading and I really
couldn't bother going search for the patch on the mail archives.

Anyway, if nothing will be broken then for drivers/usb/gadget/:

You need to provide this in a reply to the patch you actually want
to ACK, so that the patch tracking system attaches your ACK to
the proper patch.

Thank you.

I'm planning to fix the wireless uses (at least the ones I'm responsible
for), but I'm just going to stick them into my mac80211-next tree after
this patch percolates down there, I don't see a need to send around a
ton of patches for it.

At least in my code I'm going to prefer this over the memset for
documentation purposes. I'll agree that memset(..., 0xff, ETH_ALEN) is
pretty obvious already, but eth_broadcast_addr(...) is even easier to
read IMHO.
