Hi all, Here is the third iteration of the patchset to add better attribute group support to the driver core and sysfs.
Others have now tested it, and we got 3 more patches fixing a warning that was showing up when binary attributes were in a group with no "normal" attributes, and some more helper macros were added and cleaned up. I've booted this successfully against 3.11-rc1 with no problems (am sending these from that machine.) Ian, I didn't add a DEVICE_PATTR() macro yet, that can come later. I considered it, but that would also mean a BUS_PATTR() and the like, which I guess works, but I hate even a _hint_ of "Hungarian" notation, which this implies. Anyone else have a better name for this macro: #define DEVICE_PATTR(_name) &dev_attr_##_name.attr that they can think of? It will cut down on the typing done for attribute lists. changes from v3: - tested by Guenter - patches from Oliver added - refreshed on 3.11-rc1 (minor fuzz) - Ian glanced at them. changes from v2: - actually boots - 7th patch added properly - added BUS_ATTR, CLASS_ATTR, and DRIVER_ATTR RW and RO macros to help with converting code to use attributes properly. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
