Joe and Bjørn suggested that it'd be nicer to not have the
cast in the fairly common case of doing
*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 1) = c;
Add skb_put_u8() for this case, and use it across the code,
using the following spatch:
@@
expression SKB, C, S;
typedef u8;
identifier fn = {skb_put};
fresh identifier fn2 = fn ## "_u8";
@@
- *(u8 *)fn(SKB, S) = C;
+ fn2(SKB, C);
Note that due to the "S", the spatch isn't perfect, it should
have checked that S is 1, but there's also places that use a
sizeof expression like sizeof(var) or sizeof(u8) etc. Turns
out that nobody ever did something like
*(u8 *)skb_put(skb, 2) = c;
which would be wrong anyway since the second byte wouldn't be
initialized.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
