[PATCH] staging: wlan-ng: prism2sta: replace memcmp with ether_addr_equal

From: Maciek Borzecki
Date: Sat Oct 03 2015 - 10:03:22 EST


Replace memcmp() with ether_addr_equal(). In every location where the
replacement was done, the addresses accessed are
__aligned(2). Structures accessed either stack or heap allocated, no
direct memory casts to possibly unaligned structs are used.

Involved structures:

typedef struct hfa384x_authenticateStation_data {
u8 address[ETH_ALEN]; /* 0 offset */
...
} __packed hfa384x_authenticateStation_data_t;

struct prism2sta_authlist {
unsigned int cnt;
u8 addr[WLAN_AUTH_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* 4 bytes offset,
addresses start
at u16 boundary */
u8 assoc[WLAN_AUTH_MAX];
};

struct prism2sta_accesslist {
unsigned int modify;
unsigned int cnt;
u8 addr[WLAN_ACCESS_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* 8 bytes offset,
multiple of u16 */
...
u8 addr1[WLAN_ACCESS_MAX][ETH_ALEN]; /* starts at u32 boundary,
struct not packed */
};

typedef struct hfa384x_AssocStatus {
u16 assocstatus;
u8 sta_addr[ETH_ALEN]; /* 2 bytes offset,
struct is packed */
u8 old_ap_addr[ETH_ALEN]; /* 8 bytes offset */
...
} __packed hfa384x_AssocStatus_t;

The patch resolves the following checkpatch warnings:

WARNING: Prefer ether_addr_equal() or ether_addr_equal_unaligned()
over memcmp()
