There are few functions here and there along with type definitions that provide UUID API. This series consolidates everything under one hood and converts current users.
This has been tested for a while internally, however it doesn't mean we covered all possible cases (especially accuracy of UUID constants after conversion). So, please test this as much as you can and provide your tag. We appreciate the effort. The ACPI conversion is postponed for now to sort more generic things out first. Since v2: - uuid_is_valid() now returns boolean (Joe, Stephen) - remove redundant strnlen() call (Andrew) - add patches 2 and 10 (one more user converted) Since v1: - address Matt's comment (fix return value of efivarfs_valid_name()) - drop patches 5 and 6 (ACPI) for now, will return to them after sorting out generic things - rebase on top of latest linux-next Andy Shevchenko (10): lib/vsprintf: simplify UUID printing ima: use %pU to output UUID in printable format lib/uuid: move generate_random_uuid() to uuid.c lib/uuid: introduce few more generic helpers for UUID lib/uuid: remove FSF address sysctl: drop away useless label sysctl: use generic UUID library efi: redefine type, constant, macro from generic code efivars: use generic UUID library genhd: move to use generic UUID library drivers/char/random.c | 21 +-------- fs/btrfs/volumes.c | 2 +- fs/efivarfs/inode.c | 40 ++-------------- fs/ext4/ioctl.c | 2 +- fs/f2fs/file.c | 2 +- fs/reiserfs/objectid.c | 2 +- fs/ubifs/sb.c | 2 +- include/linux/efi.h | 14 ++---- include/linux/genhd.h | 23 ++-------- include/linux/random.h | 1 - include/linux/uuid.h | 21 +++++++-- include/uapi/linux/uuid.h | 4 -- kernel/sysctl_binary.c | 30 ++++-------- lib/uuid.c | 91 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- lib/vsprintf.c | 21 ++++----- security/integrity/ima/ima_policy.c | 14 +----- 16 files changed, 137 insertions(+), 153 deletions(-) -- 2.8.0.rc3
