Subject: [PATCH] scsi: mpt3sas: remove unnecessary statics
Date: Tue, 4 Jul 2017 21:30:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170705023003.GA6156@embeddedgus> (raw)

Remove unnecessary static on local variable raid_device in functions
scsih_get_resync(), scsih_get_state(),_scsih_sas_ir_operation_status_event(),
and _scsih_scan_for_devices_after_reset(). Such variables
are initialized before being used, on every execution path throughout
the mentioned functions. The statics have no benefit and, removing
them reduce the code size.

This issue was detected using Coccinelle and the following semantic patch:

@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;

In the following log you can see the difference in the code size. This log
is the output of the size command, before and after the code change:

before:

after:

 126292   30240    1152  157684   267f4 drivers/scsi/mpt3sas/mpt3sas_scsih.o
