But I guess it isn't harmful either. Yes, precisely because strscpy() put the 'nul terminator' I thought it would be ok. In the tests I did, everything always worked fine too. > AUXMAC_START is an offset ??? It should be AUXMAC_LEN. I thought that since the string 'disabled' has length 8, then I would use AUXMAC_START which is defined as 9 , because that way strscpy would copy the 8 characters of 'disabled' + the nul terminator. Wouldn't that be correct? Or would it be better to use AUXMAC_LEN which is defined to 12? > I only now realized there are two gotos to auxmacinvalid. Therefore, I'd > do this instead: 2 'goto'... I agree.

Therefore, I'd do this instead: free: kfree(obj); return 0; auxmacinvalid: strscpy(auxmac, "unavailable", AUXMAC_LEN); goto free; I'm sorry about my incorrect suggestion the last time. > +} > + > +static struct ibm_struct auxmac_data = { > + .name = "auxmac", > +}; > + > +static ssize_t auxmac_show(struct device *dev, > + struct device_attribute *attr, > + char *buf) > +{ > + return sysfs_emit(buf, "%s\n", auxmac); > +} > +static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(auxmac); > + > +static struct attribute *auxmac_attributes[] = { > + &dev_attr_auxmac.attr, > + NULL > +}; > + > +static const struct attribute_group auxmac_attr_group = { > + .attrs = auxmac_attributes, > +}; > + > /* --------------------------------------------------------------------- */ > > static struct attribute *tpacpi_driver_attributes[] = { > @@ -10843,6 +10917,7 @@ static const struct attribute_group *tpacpi_groups[] = { > &proxsensor_attr_group, > &kbdlang_attr_group, > &dprc_attr_group, > + &auxmac_attr_group, > NULL, > }; > > @@ -11414,6 +11489,10 @@ static struct ibm_init_struct ibms_init[] __initdata = { > .init = tpacpi_dprc_init, > .data = &dprc_driver_data, > }, > + { > + .init = auxmac_init, > + .data = &auxmac_data, > + }, > }; > > static int __init set_ibm_param(const char *val, const struct kernel_param *kp) > -- i.
