Make suggested checkpatch modifications for WARNING: Symbolic permissions 'S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO' are not preferred. Consider using octal permissions '0644'. WARNING: Symbolic permissions 'S_IRUGO' are not preferred. Consider using octal permissions '0444'. Signed-off-by: Walt Feasel <waltfeasel@xxxxxxxxx> --- I am new to making trivial patches and do not make some for a few type of warnings. This is one of them as I am not fully certain that it is as easy as this. The replacing of 'S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO' with '0644' seems simple enough. However the adding of '_RW' to '__ATTR' to make '__ATTR_RW' I saw in a reply to a patch and am not sure that it would be relevant in this case. I also made a previous patch adding spaces around '|' and want to know if just replacing 'S_IWUSR|S_IRUGO' with '0644' in one shot would be acceptable since my being new and not fixing just one type of warning per patch. Seems straight forward but I have spammed other peoples email and the mailing list enough with improper patches. drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_acntpc.c | 26 +++++++++++++------------- 1 file changed, 13 insertions(+), 13 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_acntpc.c b/drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_acntpc.c index 27f812e..51281be 100644 --- a/drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_acntpc.c +++ b/drivers/staging/speakup/speakup_acntpc.c @@ -56,28 +56,28 @@ static struct var_t vars[] = { /* These attributes will appear in /sys/accessibility/speakup/acntpc. */ static struct kobj_attribute caps_start_attribute = - __ATTR(caps_start, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(caps_start, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute caps_stop_attribute = - __ATTR(caps_stop, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(caps_stop, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute pitch_attribute = - __ATTR(pitch, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(pitch, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute rate_attribute = - __ATTR(rate, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(rate, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute tone_attribute = - __ATTR(tone, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(tone, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute vol_attribute = - __ATTR(vol, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(vol, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute delay_time_attribute = - __ATTR(delay_time, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(delay_time, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute direct_attribute = - __ATTR(direct, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(direct, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute full_time_attribute = - __ATTR(full_time, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(full_time, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute jiffy_delta_attribute = - __ATTR(jiffy_delta, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(jiffy_delta, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); static struct kobj_attribute trigger_time_attribute = - __ATTR(trigger_time, S_IWUSR | S_IRUGO, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); + __ATTR_RW(trigger_time, 0644, spk_var_show, spk_var_store); /* * Create a group of attributes so that we can create and destroy them all @@ -306,8 +306,8 @@ static void accent_release(void) speakup_info.port_tts = 0; } -module_param_named(port, port_forced, int, S_IRUGO); -module_param_named(start, synth_acntpc.startup, short, S_IRUGO); +module_param_named(port, port_forced, int, 0444); +module_param_named(start, synth_acntpc.startup, short, 0444); MODULE_PARM_DESC(port, "Set the port for the synthesizer (override probing)."); MODULE_PARM_DESC(start, "Start the synthesizer once it is loaded."); -- 2.1.4 _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
