SubjectRe: [PATCH v2] staging: wfx: use container_of() to get vif
Hi Jaehee,

Congrats, almost there! This wasn't necessarily an easy change.

A general comment first: please wait a bit longer between re-postings.
I received the first patch at 21:50 UTC+2 (my local time), and the
second one at 5:23 UTC+2.

I could have shared most of the comments below already on your first
patch, if only I had time to read it. I think something between 12 to
15 hours would be appropriate.

Now, to the patch:

"[1] " looks like a reference, perhaps use "- " or "1. " instead.

It would be good to follow the guidelines at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/submitting-patches.html#describe-changes

...starting from the problem description, even if it's a bit obvious
here. For example:

Currently, upon virtual interface creation,
wfx_add_interface() stores a references to the
corresponding struct ieee80211_vif in private data, for later
usage. This is not needed as ...

Use container_of() instead. This...

Trim your lines at something between 70 and 76 columns, even if it's
not part of the commit message -- that will make it easier to reply.

One additional note given where this patch will need to go: for net and
net-next trees, you're required to describe the change log at the end
of the commit message itself. That's an exception compared to other
trees (including staging -- where adding the commit log here is
appropriate).

On top of what Greg said (you're missing a space there) the line is also
too long, you can split it by doing something like:

#define wvif_to_vif(...) \
container_of(...)

also:

- parentheses around container_of() are not necessary

- "ptr"? It's obvious that it's a pointer, given the cast. "wvif" would
be more descriptive

Staying under 80 columns is preferred:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=bdc48fa11e46f867ea4d75fa59ee87a7f48be144

but checkpatch.pl won't report this. Perhaps to_vif() would be
descriptive enough, or you could also just split this line.

Or, even better, especially if you have several usages in a function:
just grab one reference to vif at the beginning of the function, and
use that instead.

Same here.

The rest looks good to me, except that, as Alison and Greg pointed out,
this isn't in staging anymore:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/staging.git/commit/?h=staging-next&id=4a5fb1bbcdf1cccae1f6b9c0277b3796b2a468ef

-- even if it was when we first discussed this change, and also,
as you already mentioned, you'll need to find somebody to test this on
actual hardware.
