[PATCH 0/7] seq_printf cleanups

[PATCH 0/7] seq_printf cleanups

[Joe Perches]

seq_printf should return void.

Add a public bool seq_is_full function that can be used to shortcut
unnecesary seq_printf/seq_puts calls when the seq buffer is full.

Start removing the misuses of the seq_printf/seq_puts return value.

Patchset brought forward from an unreplied to set of changes from
back in December 2013.

https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/12/11/713

Renamed seq_is_buf_full to seq_is_full.

Joe Perches (7):
  seq_file: Rename static bool seq_overflow to public bool seq_is_full
  netfilter: Convert print_tuple functions to return void
  dlm: Use seq_is_full - remove seq_printf returns
  dlm: Use seq_puts, remove unnecessary trailing spaces
  fs: Convert show_fdinfo functions to void
  debugfs: Fix misuse of seq_printf return value
  docg3: Fix mixuse of seq_printf return value

[PATCH 2/7] netfilter: Convert print_tuple functions to return void

[Joe Perches]

Since adding a new function to seq_file (seq_is_full)
there isn't any value for functions called from seq_show to
return anything.   Remove the int returns of the various
print_tuple/<foo>_print_tuple functions.

To be precise, we should add:

	if (seq_overflow(s))
		goto release;

[a bunch of quoted stuff]

Please remember to cut out from your replies the unnecessary old stuff.
It can take quite awhile to scan through looking for your comments.

Precision isn't all that useful when checking seq_<output>.

There really isn't much value in checking each possible
overflow site.  A periodic check prior to or in the middle
of a more costly/longish operation should be acceptable.

The entire block that precedes any seq buffer full test will
be redone when the buffer is expanded.

Re: [PATCH 0/7] seq_printf cleanups

[Steven Rostedt]

Joe,

If you haven't already done so, can you update checkpatch.pl to
complain if someone checks the return value of seq_printf(),
seq_puts(), or seq_putc().

It should state that those functions will soon be returning void.

Thanks!

I'm not sure that matters much as a rule because I
hope soon the compiler will bleat when that happens.

There are several more too:

	seq_vprintf
	seq_escape
	seq_write
	seq_bitmap
	seq_cpumask/seq_nodemask (and _list variants),
	seq_put_decimal_xxx
