Subject: [PATCHv3] Make mce_chrdev_ops "static const"
Date: Thu, 03 Nov 2011 11:46:47 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4eb2e1971326651a3b@agluck-desktop.sc.intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <4eaf0cf1139477a87b@agluck-desktop.sc.intel.com>

Arjan would like to make struct file_operations const, but mce-inject
directly writes to the mce_chrdev_ops to install its write handler.
In an ideal world mce-inject would have its own character device, but
we have a sizable legacy of test scripts that hardwire "/dev/mcelog",
so it would be painful to switch to a separate device now. Instead,
this patch switches to a stub function in the mce code, with a
registration helper that mce-inject can call when it is loaded.

Note that this would also allow for a sane process to allow mce-inject
to be unloaded again (with an unregister function, and appropriate
module_{get,put}() calls), but that is left for potential future patches.

v2 - fixes some checkpatch complaints about tabs/spaces/long-lines, and
     more importantly fixes the problems that Arjan wants fixed (rather
     than enabling him to apply the 2-liner to fix it).

v3 - Error code when hook is not present should be EINVAL, not ENODEV
     for backwards compatability.
