This patch series introduces concat_buf mechanism (based on open_memstream) to dynamically produce response buffers for management tasks in tgtd and request buffers for management tasks in tgtadm. This eliminates the need in special macros like shprintf() and spares explicit checkguards against buffer overflow. Splitting management task buffers into request and response makes the code more readable and less error-prone. Code is compilable and runnable after applying [PATCH 1/6], then after applying [PATCH 2-5/6] at once, and then after [PATCH 6/6]. Actually the concat_buf related changes "per se" are contained in [PATCH 1-5/6] and [PATCH 6/6] may be viewed as separate and/or optional. In my opinion, though, its purpose (making the usage of "enum tgtadm_errno" explicit throughout the code and avoiding mixup with other error types) is very important, as it potentially uncovers many small glitches in the error-handling flow (some already present in the patch, some are to be added yet). -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe stgt" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
