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> --- drivers/atm/solos-pci.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/atm/solos-pci.c b/drivers/atm/solos-pci.c index 6ac2b2b..5ad037c 100644 --- a/drivers/atm/solos-pci.c +++ b/drivers/atm/solos-pci.c @@ -584,7 +584,7 @@ static ssize_t hardware_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, return sprintf(buf, "%d\n", data32); } -static DEVICE_ATTR(console, 0644, console_show, console_store); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RW(console); #define SOLOS_ATTR_RO(x) static DEVICE_ATTR(x, 0444, solos_param_show, NULL); -- 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
