Hello, I was pointed to the fact that commit 6992f5334995af474c2b58d010d08bc597f0f2fe requires adjustments to dynamically created sysfs-attributes when Albrecht Dreß tried to compile the eeprom-driver at24 with lockdep enabled. After fixing this for at24 and at25, I came up with this coccinelle-script to find further candidates: @ init @ identifier struct_name, bin; @@ struct struct_name { ... struct bin_attribute bin; ... }; @ main extends init @ expression E; statement S; identifier name, err; @@ ( struct struct_name *name; | - struct struct_name *name = NULL; + struct struct_name *name; ) ... ( sysfs_bin_attr_init(&name->bin); | + sysfs_bin_attr_init(&name->bin); if (sysfs_create_bin_file(E, &name->bin)) S | + sysfs_bin_attr_init(&name->bin); err = sysfs_create_bin_file(E, &name->bin); ) (Note: I did a similar script for non-binary attributes, too. That one didn't find a match) The resulting series is the edited outcome of that. "Edited" because the patches were manually reviewed afterwards to find the best place to add the fix. The patches are not more than compile-tested on x86 where possible due to no hardware. Please also note that my semantic patch is probably not perfect and may have missed code still needing the fix. Comments welcome, of course.
