treewide: const qualify ctl_tables where applicable

2025-01-28T12:48:37Z

Add the const qualifier to all the ctl_tables in the tree except for watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table and the ones calling register_net_sysctl (./net, drivers/inifiniband dirs). These are special cases as they use a registration function with a non-const qualified ctl_table argument or modify the arrays before passing them on to the registration function. Constifying ctl_table structs will prevent the modification of proc_handler function pointers as the arrays would reside in .rodata. This is made possible after commit 78eb4ea25cd5 ("sysctl: treewide: constify the ctl_table argument of proc_handlers") constified all the proc_handlers. Created this by running an spatch followed by a sed command: Spatch: virtual patch @ depends on !(file in "net") disable optional_qualifier @ identifier table_name != { watchdog_hardlockup_sysctl, iwcm_ctl_table, ucma_ctl_table, memory_allocation_profiling_sysctls, loadpin_sysctl_table }; @@ + const struct ctl_table table_name [] = { ... }; sed: sed --in-place \ -e "s/struct ctl_table .table = &uts_kern/const struct ctl_table *table = \&uts_kern/" \ kernel/utsname_sysctl.c Reviewed-by: Song Liu Acked-by: Steven Rostedt (Google) # for kernel/trace/ Reviewed-by: Martin K.

ipmi: ssif_bmc: Fix new request loss when bmc ready for a response

2025-01-07T15:14:26Z

Cosmo found that when there is a new request comes in while BMC is ready for a response, the complete_response(), which is called to complete the pending response, would accidentally clear out that new request and force ssif_bmc to move back to abort state again. This commit is to address that issue.

ipmi: make ipmi_destroy_user() return void

2025-01-03T03:11:52Z

Return value of ipmi_destroy_user() has no meaning, because it's always zero and callers can do nothing with it. And in most cases it's not checked. So make this function return void. This also will eliminate static code analyzer warnings such as unreachable code/redundant comparison when the return value is checked against non-zero value.

Get rid of 'remove_new' relic from platform driver struct

2024-12-01T23:12:43Z

The continual trickle of small conversion patches is grating on me, and is really not helping. Just get rid of the 'remove_new' member function, which is just an alias for the plain 'remove', and had a comment to that effect: /* * .remove_new() is a relic from a prototype conversion of .remove(). * New drivers are supposed to implement .remove(). Once all drivers are * converted to not use .remove_new any more, it will be dropped. */ This was just a tree-wide 'sed' script that replaced '.remove_new' with '.remove', with some care taken to turn a subsequent tab into two tabs to make things line up. I did do some minimal manual whitespace adjustment for places that used spaces to line things up. Then I just removed the old (sic) .remove_new member function, and this is the end result. No more unnecessary conversion noise. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

[tree-wide] finally take no_llseek out

2024-09-27T15:18:43Z

no_llseek had been defined to NULL two years ago, in commit 868941b14441 ("fs: remove no_llseek") To quote that commit, At -rc1 we'll need do a mechanical removal of no_llseek - git grep -l -w no_llseek | grep -v porting.rst | while read i; do sed -i '/\/d' $i done would do it. Unfortunately, that hadn't been done. Linus, could you do that now, so that we could finally put that thing to rest? All instances are of the form .llseek = no_llseek, so it's obviously safe.
