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/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3400_thermal.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3400_thermal.c b/drivers/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3400_thermal.c index 5836e55..9413c4a 100644 --- a/drivers/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3400_thermal.c +++ b/drivers/thermal/int340x_thermal/int3400_thermal.c @@ -96,7 +96,7 @@ static ssize_t current_uuid_store(struct device *dev, return -EINVAL; } -static DEVICE_ATTR(current_uuid, 0644, current_uuid_show, current_uuid_store); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RW(current_uuid); static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(available_uuids); static struct attribute *uuid_attrs[] = { &dev_attr_available_uuids.attr, -- 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
