Subject: [PATCH 06/11] moduleparam: Add seq_buf-based .get callback alongside .get_str
Date: Thu, 21 May 2026 06:33:19 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260521133326.2465264-6-kees@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260521133315.work.845-kees@kernel.org>
Add a new struct kernel_param_ops::get callback whose signature
takes a struct seq_buf instead of a raw char buffer:
int (*get)(struct seq_buf *sb, const struct kernel_param *kp);
The previously-legacy .get field is now .get_str (char *buffer);
.get is the new seq_buf-aware form. param_attr_show() prefers .get
when set, otherwise falls back to .get_str. WARN_ON_ONCE() if both
are set. Return contract for .get:
< 0 : errno propagated to userspace; seq_buf contents discarded
= 0 : success; length derived from seq_buf_used()
> 0 : forbidden; the dispatcher WARN_ON_ONCE()s and treats as 0
The default policy on seq_buf_has_overflowed() is silent truncation,
matching scnprintf()/sysfs_emit() behaviour. Callbacks that want a
specific overflow errno can check seq_buf_has_overflowed() and
return their preferred error.
No callbacks use .get yet; the legacy path is still the only one in use
after this commit. A subsequent commit teaches DEFINE_KERNEL_PARAM_OPS
to route initializers by type.
