[PATCH 0/4] null_blk: fixes around nr_devices and log improvements

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This patch series address feedback for a previous patch series sent by
me "docs: block: null_blk: enhance document style"[1].

First patch removes a restriction that prevents null_blk to load with
(nr_devices == 0). This restriction breaks applications, so it's a bug. I
have tested it running the kernel with `null_blk.nr_devices=0`.

In the previous series I have changed the type of var nr_devices, but I
forgot to change the type at module_param(). The second patch fix that.

The third patch uses a cleaver approach to make log messages consistent
using pr_fmt and the last one add a note on how to do that at the
coding style documentation.

Thanks,
	André
