From 498d319bb512992ef0784c278fa03679f2f5649d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefani Seibold Date: Thu, 14 Nov 2013 14:32:17 -0800 Subject: kfifo API type safety This patch enhances the type safety for the kfifo API. It is now safe to put const data into a non const FIFO and the API will now generate a compiler warning when reading from the fifo where the destination address is pointing to a const variable. As a side effect the kfifo_put() does now expect the value of an element instead a pointer to the element. This was suggested Russell King. It make the handling of the kfifo_put easier since there is no need to create a helper variable for getting the address of a pointer or to pass integers of different sizes. IMHO the API break is okay, since there are currently only six users of kfifo_put(). The code is also cleaner by kicking out the "if (0)" expressions.
