Use DEVICE_ATTR_RO etc. for read only attributes etc. This simplifies the source code, improves readbility, and reduces the chance of inconsistencies. The semantic patch for the RO case, in the case where the show function already has the expected name, is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @ro@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR; identifier x,x_show; @@ DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0444\|S_IRUGO\), x_show, NULL); @script:ocaml@ x << ro.x; x_show << ro.x_show; @@ if not (x^"_show" = x_show) then Coccilib.include_match false @@ declarer name DEVICE_ATTR_RO; identifier ro.x,ro.x_show; @@ - DEVICE_ATTR(x, \(0444\|S_IRUGO\), x_show, NULL); + DEVICE_ATTR_RO(x); // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <Julia.Lawall@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c b/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c index 734d55d..5a632bc 100644 --- a/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c +++ b/drivers/hwmon/k8temp.c @@ -100,7 +100,7 @@ static struct k8temp_data *k8temp_update_device(struct device *dev) * Sysfs stuff */ -static ssize_t show_name(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute +static ssize_t name_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *devattr, char *buf) { struct k8temp_data *data = dev_get_drvdata(dev); @@ -133,7 +133,7 @@ static ssize_t show_temp(struct device *dev, static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2(temp2_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 0, 1); static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2(temp3_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 1, 0); static SENSOR_DEVICE_ATTR_2(temp4_input, S_IRUGO, show_temp, NULL, 1, 1); -static DEVICE_ATTR(name, S_IRUGO, show_name, NULL); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(name); static const struct pci_device_id k8temp_ids[] = { { PCI_DEVICE(PCI_VENDOR_ID_AMD, PCI_DEVICE_ID_AMD_K8_NB_MISC) }, -- 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
