include, lib: add __printf attributes to several function prototypes

2015-07-17T23:39:53+00:00

Using __printf attributes helps to detect several format string issues at compile time (even though -Wformat-security is currently disabled in Makefile). For example it can detect when formatting a pointer as a number, like the issue fixed in commit a3fa71c40f18 ("wl18xx: show rx_frames_per_rates as an array as it really is"), or when the arguments do not match the format string, c.f. for example commit 5ce1aca81435 ("reiserfs: fix __RASSERT format string"). To prevent similar bugs in the future, add a __printf attribute to every function prototype which needs one in include/linux/ and lib/. These functions were mostly found by using gcc's -Wsuggest-attribute=format flag.

[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.

2008-07-31T23:21:13+00:00

Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar. - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the sysfs macros. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute() operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended form configfs_attributes.

[PATCH] configfs: Include linux/err.h in linux/configfs.h

2008-07-31T23:21:12+00:00

We now use PTR_ERR() in the ->make_item() and ->make_group() operations. Folks including configfs.h need err.h. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker Signed-off-by: Mark Fasheh

configfs: Allow ->make_item() and ->make_group() to return detailed errors.

2008-07-17T22:21:29+00:00

The configfs operations ->make_item() and ->make_group() currently return a new item/group. A return of NULL signifies an error. Because of this, -ENOMEM is the only return code bubbled up the stack. Multiple folks have requested the ability to return specific error codes when these operations fail. This patch adds that ability by changing the ->make_item/group() ops to return ERR_PTR() values. These errors are bubbled up appropriately. NULL returns are changed to -ENOMEM for compatibility. Also updated are the in-kernel users of configfs. This is a rework of reverted commit 11c3b79218390a139f2d474ee1e983a672d5839a. Signed-off-by: Joel Becker
