It's more convenient to have strreplace() to return the pointer to the string itself. This will help users to make their code better. The patch 1 kills the only user of the returned value of strreplace(), Patch 2 converts the return value of strreplace(). And patch 3 shows how it may be useful. That said, the series can be routed via fs tree, with or without the last patch. In v3: - rebased on top of latest Linux Next In v2: - removed not anymore used variable (LKP) - added tag (Jan) - fixed wording (Kees) - actually return the pointer to the string itself Andy Shevchenko (3): jbd2: Avoid printing outside the boundary of the buffer lib/string_helpers: Change returned value of the strreplace() kobject: Use return value of strreplace() fs/jbd2/journal.c | 6 ++---- include/linux/string.h | 2 +- lib/kobject.c | 3 +-- lib/string_helpers.c | 12 ++++++++---- 4 files changed, 12 insertions(+), 11 deletions(-) -- 2.40.0.1.gaa8946217a0b
