The difficulty is in trying to do this in an automated way. For instance, look at the hfsplus patch; it has separate assignments in place already: - result->i_ctime.tv_sec =3D result->i_mtime.tv_sec =3D result->i_ati= me.tv_sec =3D local_to_gmt(dir->i_sb, le32_to_cpu(dee.creation_date)); - result->i_ctime.tv_nsec =3D 0; + inode_ctime_set_sec(result, + result->i_mtime.tv_sec =3D result->i_atime.tv_s= ec =3D local_to_gmt(dir->i_sb, le32_to_cpu(dee.creation_date))); + inode_ctime_set_nsec(result, 0); Granted the new code is pretty ugly, but it compiles! Transforming that into what you're suggesting is a tougher proposition to do with coccinelle. I didn't see a way to conditionally catch cases like this, declare a new variable in the appropriate spot and then transform two assignments (that may not be next to one another!) into a single one. Maybe it's possible, but my grasp of SMPL is not that great. The docs and examples (including Kees' vey helpful ones!) cover fairly simple changes well, but I didn't quite grasp how to do that complex an evolution. > > Could I have done it by declaring a local timespec64 variable and just > > use the inode_ctime_set function in these places?
