coccinelle: device_attr_show: simplify patch case

2024-01-20T20:56:11Z

Replacing the final expression argument by ... allows the format string to have multiple arguments. It also has the advantage of allowing the change to be recognized as a change in a single statement, thus avoiding adding unneeded braces. Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall

Revert "debugfs, coccinelle: check for obsolete DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE() usage"

2023-07-29T15:05:31Z

Remove coccinelle's recommendation to use DEFINE_DEBUGFS_ATTRIBUTE() instead of DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE(). Regardless of whether or not the "significant overhead" incurred by debugfs_create_file() is actually meaningful, warnings from the script have led to a rash of low-quality patches that have sowed confusion and consumed maintainer time for little to no benefit. There have been no less than four attempts to "fix" KVM, and a quick search on lore shows that KVM is not alone. This reverts commit 5103068eaca290f890a30aae70085fac44cecaf6.

coccinelle: api/atomic_as_refcounter: include message type in output

2022-12-26T20:47:12Z

A common practice is to grep for "WARNING" or "ERROR" text in the report output from a Coccinelle semantic patch script. So, include the text "WARNING: " in the report output generated by the semantic patch for desired filtering of the output. Also improves the readability of the output. Here is an example of the old and new outputs reported: xyz_file.c:131:39-40: atomic_add_unless xyz_file.c:131:39-40: WARNING: atomic_add_unless xyz_file.c:196:6-25: atomic_dec_and_test variation before object free at line 208. xyz_file.c:196:6-25: WARNING: atomic_dec_and_test variation before object free at line 208.

Using kobj_to_dev() instead of container_of() is not universally accepted among maintainers as an improvement. The warning leads to repeated patch submissions that won't be accepted.

coccinnelle: Remove ptr_ret script

2020-12-15T19:55:19Z

The ptr_ret script script addresses a number of situations where we end up testing an error pointer, and if it's an error returning it, or return 0 otherwise to transform it into a PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO call. So it will convert a block like this: if (IS_ERR(err)) return PTR_ERR(err); return 0; into return PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO(err); While this is technically correct, it has a number of drawbacks. First, it merges the error and success path, which will make it harder for a reviewer or reader to grasp. It's also more difficult to extend if we were to add some code between the error check and the function return, making the author essentially revert that patch before adding new lines, while it would have been a trivial addition otherwise for the rewiever. Therefore, since that script is only about cosmetic in the first place, let's remove it since it's not worth it.
