Thanks for the review Hans, I'll send a new version with some adjustments.

I liked the Ilpo suggestion, with two 'gotos' is eliminated repeated code. If everything is ok, I prefer it this way.

Fernando Valle

Hi,

It looks like I just reviewed an old version, reviewing this version now ...

In this code path you don't initialize the "auxmac" buffer at all,
but your auxmac_attr_group does not have an is_visible callback,
so the auxmax sysfs attr will still show up.

Please add an is_visible callback and retuern 0 (not visible)
when auxmac[0] == 0; See existing is_visible code for some
examples.

Please use sizeof(auxmac) as last parameter to strscpy() here.

Please use sizeof(auxmac) as last parameter to strscpy() here.

Also note how you pass 2 different dest-sizes for the same dest buffer before,
which looks weird ...

I'm not liking the goto dance here, I would prefer:

        kfree(obj);
        return 0;

auxmacinvalid:
        strscpy(auxmac, "unavailable", AUXMAC_LEN);
        kfree(obj);
        return 0;

It is quite normal for an error-exit path to repeat a kfree().

Note this is just a preference you keen keep this as is
if you want, but to me the goto free which jumps up looks
pretty weird.

Hans
