Subject: unnecessary use of set_bit
Date: Sat, 27 Apr 2002 22:26:02 +1000 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <15562.39130.683869.175699@argo.ozlabs.ibm.com> (raw)

The ohci_hub_status_data() procedure in drivers/usb/host/ohci-hub.c in
2.5.11 is broken in a couple of ways: it uses set_bit on a char *
address and it assumes little-endian byte order in the bitmap.

Here is a patch to fix both problems.  As a bonus, the file ends up
one line shorter. :)

Please, people, don't use set_bit when you don't need an atomic
operation.  set_bit(&x, n) is slower than x |= 1 << n on a lot of
platforms, including SMP x86 I believe.  (If the bitmap is more than
one word you can use __set_bit if you don't require atomicity.)

Paul.
