Re: [PATCH 06/12] genericirq: make irq_chip related function to takedesc

I also worked on this, but only sent it to Thomas and Yinghai. Onthe
other hand, I mostly like your solution better, because it has the
unintended side-effect of getting rid of some blank spaces after {s.

My rule was also more complicated in that it also searches for conditions
in which it is not sure to be doing the right thing. I will send those in
another message.

I didn't think of making a special rule for this. It could consider any
case where the body is ... when != IRQ

I don't think FUNC(...) { <... and ...> } are needed here. The goal is to
make the change everywhere the call appears.

This rule can be extended as follows:

@ @
identifier FUNC;
identifier DESC;
identifier IRQ;
identifier FLD;
@@
FUNC(..., struct irq_desc *DESC, ...) {
...
unsigned int IRQ = DESC->irq;
<...
(
- irq_to_desc(IRQ)
+ DESC
|
- irq_desc[IRQ].FLD
+ DESC->FLD
)
...>
}

Doing so gets rid of more references to IRQ.

Another case that can be treated is method calls via a pointer:

@@
expression arg;
struct irq_desc *desc;
struct irq_chip *ic;
identifier fun;
@@

(
desc->chip->fun(
- arg
+ desc
,...)
|
ic->fun(
- arg
+ irq_to_desc(arg)
,...)
)
