Subject: [PATCHv2] staging: rtl8192u: r8192U_core: fix use ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() code style issue
Date: Sat,  5 Sep 2015 22:15:12 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4deec87c981bbbf81114b49262df0b1b03d98e57.1441505656.git.raphael.beamonte@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20150906004426.GA10760@kroah.com>

Prefer ether_addr_copy() over memcpy() if the Ethernet addresses
are __aligned(2)

The values used are stored as dev_addr in net_device (declared in
include/linux/netdevice.h) and sa_data in sockaddr (declared in
include/linux/socket.h). Both these elements are u16 aligned as
shown by using pahole (position must be a multiple of sizeof(u16)):
unsigned char *            dev_addr;             /*   888     8 */
char                       sa_data[14];          /*     2    14 */

It is thus safe to use ether_addr_copy() instead of memcpy() for
that call, as it is already done in multiple files in the Linux
kernel sources:
  drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/genet/bcmgenet.c
  drivers/net/ethernet/brocade/bna/bnad.c
  drivers/net/ethernet/emulex/benet/be_main.c
