The only reason I know this stuff is because it's annotated in Smatch.
So I do this:

diff --git a/drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_sysfs.c b/drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_sysfs.c
index 9cf3d56296ab..c491ad8fb0a8 100644

 	char mode[FCOE_MAX_MODENAME_LEN + 1];
 
+	__smatch_implied(count);
 	if (count > FCOE_MAX_MODENAME_LEN)
 		return -EINVAL;
 

Then when I run kchecker drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_sysfs.c, it tells me:

drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe_sysfs.c:292 store_ctlr_mode() implied: count = '1-1000000000,2147479552'

Which is sort of surprising...  The 1000000000 value is a hack I made so
that it would never complain that "off + count" will wrap.  But
apparently something has changed so it's also picking up the true limit
of count which is 2147479552.

Then I run the following commands to view the call tree:
    smdb.py store_ctlr_mode
    smdb.py dev_attr_store
    smdb.py sysfs_kf_write
I have some vim macros so I can look these up really quickly.
