Does this interface support partial reprogramming/configuration for FPGAs that can do that? trivial notes: There are a _lot_ of dev_dbg statements. I hope some of these would be removed one day, especially the function tracing style ones, because there's already a generic kernel mechanism for that. Maybe perf/trace support could be added eventually. > diff --git a/drivers/fpga/fpga-mgr.c b/drivers/fpga/fpga-mgr.c [] > +/** > + * fpga_mgr_status_write - Write fpga manager status > + * @dev: Pointer to the device structure > + * @attr: Pointer to the device attribute structure > + * @buf: Pointer to the buffer location > + * @count: Number of characters in @buf > + * > + * Returns the number of bytes copied to @buf, a negative error number otherwise > + */ > +static ssize_t fpga_mgr_status_write(struct device *dev, > + struct device_attribute *attr, > + const char *buf, size_t count) > +{ > + struct fpga_manager *mgr = dev_get_drvdata(dev); > + int ret; > + > + if (test_and_set_bit_lock(FPGA_MGR_DEV_BUSY, &mgr->flags)) > + return -EBUSY; > + > + ret = strcmp(buf, "write_init"); > + if (!ret) { > + ret = fpga_mgr_write_init(mgr); > + goto out; > + } > + > + ret = strcmp(buf, "write_complete"); > + if (!ret) { > + ret = fpga_mgr_write_complete(mgr); > + goto out; > + } > + > + ret = strcmp(buf, "read_init"); > + if (!ret) { > + ret = fpga_mgr_read_init(mgr); > + goto out; > + } > + > + ret = strcmp(buf, "read_complete"); > + if (!ret) { > + ret = fpga_mgr_read_complete(mgr); > + goto out; > + } > + > + ret = -EINVAL; > +out: > + clear_bit_unlock(FPGA_MGR_DEV_BUSY, &mgr->flags); > + > + return ret ? : count; > +} I think this style is awkward and this would be better written as: if (!strcmp(buf, "write_init")) ret = fpga_mgr_write_init(mgr); else if (!strcmp(buf, "write_complete")) ret = fpga_mgr_write_complete(mgr); else if (!strcmp(buf, "read_init")) ret = fpga_mgr_read_init(mgr); else if (!strcmp(buf, "read_complete")) ret = fpga_mgr_read_complete(mgr); else ret = -EINVAL; clear_bit_unlock(FPGA_MGR_DEV_BUSY, &mgr->flags); if (ret) return ret; return count; } Maybe use (strcmp(...) == 0) if you prefer that. Both styles are commonly used in linux. Probably all of the "return ret ?: count;" uses would be more easily understood on 3 lines. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
