Hi Joel, What do you think..? Also, here is the drivers/lio-core/iscsi_target_configfs.c commit to convert to use to new parameters for CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() and CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS(): http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/nab/lio-core-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=e305460ebaa92ce1f8542a55bd62648904fb2fd6 I don't see anyone except for drivers/lio-core and Documentation/filesystems/configfs/ using these macros.. If I can get an ACK I would be happy to update the examples. --nab >From 71fc659e337dcc5941f6f64f6c8abfb6b477fd7c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nicholas Bellinger <nab@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 22 Oct 2008 14:49:01 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [ConfigFS]: Extend CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() and CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() macros Extend CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() and CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() macros to allow multiple struct config_item or struct config_group to hang off the same structure. This means the previous '_item' arguement gets split into '_name' (for function and attribute structure names) and '_item' (the struct _item used throughout the macros that contains struct _item->my_config_group. This patch also removed the requirement for code using these macros to provide their own 'to_<name>()' function, which is now defined by CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() by passing the '_item_member' argument which is used inside of to_##_name() for locating struct _item *_item = container_of().
