Perhaps these string_upper and string_lower utility functions should return dst not void so these functions could be used in output calls. So instead of: + string_upper(prefix_name, prefix_name); snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%s-%s", prefix_name, kind); this could be consolidated: snprintf(name, sizeof(name), "%s-%s", string_upper(prefix_name), kind); Perhaps: --- include/linux/string_helpers.h | 12 ++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 10 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/string_helpers.h b/include/linux/string_helpers.h index 68189c4a2eb11..ef92a9471f2a9 100644 --- a/include/linux/string_helpers.h +++ b/include/linux/string_helpers.h @@ -81,18 +81,26 @@ static inline int string_escape_str_any_np(const char *src, char *dst, return string_escape_str(src, dst, sz, ESCAPE_ANY_NP, only); } -static inline void string_upper(char *dst, const char *src) +static inline char *string_upper(char *dst, const char *src) { + char *rtn = dst; + do { *dst++ = toupper(*src); } while (*src++); + + return rtn; } -static inline void string_lower(char *dst, const char *src) +static inline char *string_lower(char *dst, const char *src) { + char *rtn = dst; + do { *dst++ = tolower(*src); } while (*src++); + + return rtn; } char *kstrdup_quotable(const char *src, gfp_t gfp);
