Use DEVICE_ATTR_WO for write ony attributes and DEVICE_ATTR_RO for read only attributes. This simplifies the source code, improves readbility, and reduces the chance of inconsistencies. The semantic patch for the RO case 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/usb/wusbcore/dev-sysfs.c | 6 +++--- 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/usb/wusbcore/dev-sysfs.c b/drivers/usb/wusbcore/dev-sysfs.c index 415b140..d4de56b 100644 --- a/drivers/usb/wusbcore/dev-sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/usb/wusbcore/dev-sysfs.c @@ -53,7 +53,7 @@ static ssize_t wusb_disconnect_store(struct device *dev, wusbhc_put(wusbhc); return size; } -static DEVICE_ATTR(wusb_disconnect, 0200, NULL, wusb_disconnect_store); +static DEVICE_ATTR_WO(wusb_disconnect); static ssize_t wusb_cdid_show(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, char *buf) @@ -69,7 +69,7 @@ static ssize_t wusb_cdid_show(struct device *dev, wusb_dev_put(wusb_dev); return result + 1; } -static DEVICE_ATTR(wusb_cdid, 0444, wusb_cdid_show, NULL); +static DEVICE_ATTR_RO(wusb_cdid); static ssize_t wusb_ck_store(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr, @@ -105,7 +105,7 @@ static ssize_t wusb_ck_store(struct device *dev, wusbhc_put(wusbhc); return result < 0 ? result : size; } -static DEVICE_ATTR(wusb_ck, 0200, NULL, wusb_ck_store); +static DEVICE_ATTR_WO(wusb_ck); static struct attribute *wusb_dev_attrs[] = { &dev_attr_wusb_disconnect.attr, -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
