Subject: libfs: add DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for signed value
Date: Tue, 20 Sep 2022 02:24:16 +0900
Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute
files".
The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative
value.
This patch (of 3):
The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c9237 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.
This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.
