The following code in kobject_add if (!kobj->k_name) kobj->k_name = kobj->name; if (!kobj->k_name) { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; }
doesn't look right to me. The second 'if' statement looks useless after the assignment in the first one. May be it was meant to be like: if (!*kobj->k_name) See the full patch: --- linux-2.6.20-rc2/lib/kobject.c 2006-12-28 19:59:56.000000000 -0800 +++ linux-2.6.20-rc2.mod/lib/kobject.c 2006-12-28 20:00:25.000000000 -0800 @@ -161,19 +161,19 @@ int kobject_add(struct kobject * kobj) { int error = 0; struct kobject * parent; if (!(kobj = kobject_get(kobj))) return -ENOENT; if (!kobj->k_name) kobj->k_name = kobj->name; - if (!kobj->k_name) { + if (!*kobj->k_name) { pr_debug("kobject attempted to be registered with no name!\n"); WARN_ON(1); return -EINVAL; } parent = kobject_get(kobj->parent); -Martin - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
