There is no need to user boiler plate code to specify a set of base directories we're going to stuff sysctls under. Simplify this by using register_sysctl() and specifying the directory path directly. // pycocci sysctl-subdir-register-sysctl-simplify.cocci drivers/char/hpet.c @c1@ expression E1; identifier subdir, sysctls; @@ static struct ctl_table subdir[] = { { .procname = E1, .maxlen = 0, .mode = 0555, .child = sysctls, }, { } }; @c2@ identifier c1.subdir; expression E2; identifier base; @@ static struct ctl_table base[] = { { .procname = E2, .maxlen = 0, .mode = 0555, .child = subdir, }, { } }; @c3@ identifier c2.base; identifier header; @@ header = register_sysctl_table(base); @r1 depends on c1 && c2 && c3@ expression c1.E1; identifier c1.subdir, c1.sysctls; @@ -static struct ctl_table subdir[] = { - { - .procname = E1, - .maxlen = 0, - .mode = 0555, - .child = sysctls, - }, - { } -}; @r2 depends on c1 && c2 && c3@ identifier c1.subdir; expression c2.E2; identifier c2.base; @@ -static struct ctl_table base[] = { - { - .procname = E2, - .maxlen = 0, - .mode = 0555, - .child = subdir, - }, - { } -}; @initialize:python@ @@ def make_my_fresh_expression(s1, s2): return '"' + s1.strip('"') + "/" + s2.strip('"') + '"' @r3 depends on c1 && c2 && c3@ expression c1.E1; identifier c1.sysctls; expression c2.E2; identifier c2.base; identifier c3.header; fresh identifier E3 = script:python(E2, E1) { make_my_fresh_expression(E2, E1) }; @@ header = -register_sysctl_table(base); +register_sysctl(E3, sysctls); Generated-by: Coccinelle SmPL Signed-off-by: Luis Chamberlain <mcgrof@xxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/char/hpet.c | 22 +--------------------- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 21 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/char/hpet.c b/drivers/char/hpet.c index 4e5431f01450..563dfae3b8da 100644 --- a/drivers/char/hpet.c +++ b/drivers/char/hpet.c @@ -746,26 +746,6 @@ static struct ctl_table hpet_table[] = { {} }; -static struct ctl_table hpet_root[] = { - { - .procname = "hpet", - .maxlen = 0, - .mode = 0555, - .child = hpet_table, - }, - {} -}; - -static struct ctl_table dev_root[] = { - { - .procname = "dev", - .maxlen = 0, - .mode = 0555, - .child = hpet_root, - }, - {} -}; - static struct ctl_table_header *sysctl_header; /* @@ -1061,7 +1041,7 @@ static int __init hpet_init(void) if (result < 0) return -ENODEV; - sysctl_header = register_sysctl_table(dev_root); + sysctl_header = register_sysctl("dev/hpet", hpet_table); result = acpi_bus_register_driver(&hpet_acpi_driver); if (result < 0) { -- 2.33.0
