Get rid of ugly *_escape_mem_ascii() API since it's not flexible and has the only single user. Provide better approach based on usage of the string_escape_mem() with appropriate flags. Test cases has been expanded accordingly to cover new functionality. This is assumed to go either thru VFS or Andrew's tree. I don't expect too many changes in string_helpers. Changelog v3: - dropped moving seq_escape() to the header due to a lot of complaints from the (very) old code - added seq_escape_str() inliner - converted seq_escape() to use seq_escape_str() instead of seq_escape_mem() Changelog v2: - introduced seq_escape_mem() instead of poking seq_get_buf() (Al) - to keep balance of seq_get_buf() usage, convert seq_escape() to use above - added missed ESCAPE_APPEND flag in NFSv4 patch - moved indentation patch closer to the beginning of the series - reshuffled series to be in two groups: generic library extension followed by seq_file updates Andy Shevchenko (15): lib/string_helpers: Switch to use BIT() macro lib/string_helpers: Move ESCAPE_NP check inside 'else' branch in a loop lib/string_helpers: Drop indentation level in string_escape_mem() lib/string_helpers: Introduce ESCAPE_NA for escaping non-ASCII lib/string_helpers: Introduce ESCAPE_NAP to escape non-ASCII and non-printable lib/string_helpers: Allow to append additional characters to be escaped lib/test-string_helpers: Print flags in hexadecimal format lib/test-string_helpers: Get rid of trailing comma in terminators lib/test-string_helpers: Add test cases for new features MAINTAINERS: Add myself as designated reviewer for generic string library seq_file: Introduce seq_escape_mem() seq_file: Add seq_escape_str() as replica of string_escape_str() seq_file: Convert seq_escape() to use seq_escape_str() nfsd: Avoid non-flexible API in seq_quote_mem() seq_file: Drop unused *_escape_mem_ascii() MAINTAINERS | 8 ++ fs/nfsd/nfs4state.c | 2 +- fs/seq_file.c | 43 +++++---- include/linux/seq_file.h | 10 ++- include/linux/string_helpers.h | 31 ++++--- lib/string_helpers.c | 102 ++++++++++++--------- lib/test-string_helpers.c | 157 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++---- 7 files changed, 264 insertions(+), 89 deletions(-) -- 2.30.2
