fs: configfs: don't return anything from drop_link

2016-12-01T09:50:49Z

Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt says: "When unlink(2) is called on the symbolic link, the source item is notified via the ->drop_link() method. Like the ->drop_item() method, this is a void function and cannot return failure." The ->drop_item() is indeed a void function, the ->drop_link() is actually not. This, together with the fact that the value of ->drop_link() is silently ignored suggests, that it is the ->drop_link() return type that should be corrected and changed to void. This patch changes drop_link() signature and all its users. Signed-off-by: Andrzej Pietrasiewicz [hch: reverted reformatting of some code] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

configfs: switch ->default groups to a linked list

2016-03-06T15:11:24Z

Replace the current NULL-terminated array of default groups with a linked list. This gets rid of lots of nasty code to size and/or dynamically allocate the array. While we're at it also provide a conveniant helper to remove the default groups.

configfs: implement binary attributes

2016-01-04T11:31:46Z

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that fit the configfs usage model. Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource, such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created devices etc. Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals and howto use them. This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains Christoph's configfs rework.

configfs: remove old API

2015-10-14T05:17:57Z

Remove the old show_attribute and store_attribute methods and update the documentation. Also replace the two C samples with a single new one in the proper samples directory where people expect to find it. Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig Signed-off-by: Nicholas Bellinger

Documentation: configfs examples crash fix

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

When configfs_register_subsystem() fails, we unregister too many subsystems in configfs_example_init. Decrement i by one to not unregister non-registered subsystem.

Documentation: make configfs example code simpler, clearer

2010-11-18T23:00:46Z

If "p" is NULL then it will cause an oops when we pass it to simple_strtoul(). In this case "p" can not be NULL so I removed the check. I also changed the check a little to make it more explicit that we are testing whether p points to the NUL char.

docsrc: build Documentation/ sources

2008-08-12T23:07:30Z

Currently source files in the Documentation/ sub-dir can easily bit-rot since they are not generally buildable, either because they are hidden in text files or because there are no Makefile rules for them. This needs to be fixed so that the source files remain usable and good examples of code instead of bad examples. Add the ability to build source files that are in the Documentation/ dir. Add to Kconfig as "BUILD_DOCSRC" config symbol. Use "CONFIG_BUILD_DOCSRC=1 make ..." to build objects from the Documentation/ sources. Or enable BUILD_DOCSRC in the *config system. However, this symbol depends on HEADERS_CHECK since the header files need to be installed (for userspace builds). Built (using cross-tools) for x86-64, i386, alpha, ia64, sparc32, sparc64, powerpc, sh, m68k, & mips.

[PATCH] configfs: Convenience macros for attribute definition.

2008-07-31T23:21:13Z

Sysfs has the _ATTR() and _ATTR_RO() macros to make defining extended form attributes easier. configfs should have something similiar. - _CONFIGFS_ATTR() and _CONFIGFS_ATTR_RO() are the counterparts to the sysfs macros. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_STRUCT() creates the extended form attribute structure. - CONFIGFS_ATTR_OPS() defines the show_attribute()/store_attribute() operations that call the show()/store() operations of the extended form configfs_attributes.
