[PATCH] scsi: storvsc: Replace symbolic permissions with octal

[Md Shofiqul Islam]

Symbolic permissions like S_IRUGO and S_IWUSR are deprecated.
Replace with their octal equivalents as preferred by checkpatch:
 - S_IRUGO|S_IWUSR -> 0644
 - S_IRUGO         -> 0444 (3 instances)

RE: [EXTERNAL] [PATCH] scsi: storvsc: Replace symbolic permissions with octal

[Long Li]

This patch is missing "Signed-off-by:".

"deprecated" is inaccurate - Symbolic permissions are not deprecated; they still compile fine. The message should say something like "not preferred".

Thanks,
Long

Since storvsc is the driver for the synthetic SCSI controller
provided by Hyper-V to its guest VMs, I'd suggest including the
linux-hyperv@vger.kernel.org mailing list on To: line. That's the
mailing list for all things related to Hyper-V guests.
