Use DEVICE_ATTR_RW for read-write attributes. This simplifies the source code, improves readbility, and reduces the chance of inconsistencies. The semantic patch that makes this change is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @rw@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR; identifier x,x_show,x_store; @@ DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0644\|S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR\), x_show, x_store); @script:ocaml@ x << rw.x; x_show << rw.x_show; x_store << rw.x_store; @@ if not (x^"_show" = x_show && x^"_store" = x_store) then Coccilib.include_match false @@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR_RW; identifier rw.x,rw.x_show,rw.x_store; @@ - DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0644\|S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR\), x_show, x_store); + DEVICE_ATTR_RW(x); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c | 3 +-- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c b/arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c index 5f202a5..32f18b5 100644 --- a/arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c +++ b/arch/powerpc/kernel/iommu.c @@ -127,8 +127,7 @@ static ssize_t fail_iommu_store(struct device *dev, return count; } -static DEVICE_ATTR(fail_iommu, S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR, fail_iommu_show, - fail_iommu_store); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RW(fail_iommu); static int fail_iommu_bus_notify(struct notifier_block *nb, unsigned long action, void *data) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe kernel-janitors" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
