Subject: [PATCH 07/11] moduleparam: Route DEFINE_KERNEL_PARAM_OPS get pointer via _Generic
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 06:33:20 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521133326.2465264-7-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521133315.work.845-kees@kernel.org>
Make the DEFINE_KERNEL_PARAM_OPS family route their _get argument to
either .get (struct seq_buf *) or .get_str (char *) at compile time
based on the pointer's actual function signature. Two helper macros
do the routing:
_KERNEL_PARAM_OPS_GET - return the pointer if it has the seq_buf
signature, otherwise NULL of that type
_KERNEL_PARAM_OPS_GET_STR - mirror image for the char * signature
Both use _Generic; only the two valid function-pointer types are
listed, so any third-party type is a compile error rather than
silently falling through.
Now a callback whose body has been migrated from char * to struct
seq_buf * needs no change at its kernel_param_ops initialization site,
because the macro picks up the new type automatically and assigns to
the correct field.
