Subject[RFA][PATCH 0/8] seq_file: Remove return checks of seq_printf()
[ REQUEST FOR ACKS ]

I'm looking to clean up the seq_file code and to eventually merge the
trace_seq code with seq_file as well, since they basically do the same thing.

Part of this process is to remove the return code of seq_printf() and friends
as they are rather inconsistent. It is better to use the new function
seq_has_overflowed() if you want to stop processing when the buffer
is full. Note, if the buffer is full, the seq_file code will throw away
the contents, allocate a bigger buffer, and then call your code again
to fill in the data. The only thing that breaking out of the function
early does is to save a little time which is probably never noticed.

But anyway, I'm asking for Acked-bys for code that touches the subsystems
that have been modified.

I started with patches from Joe Perches and modified them as well.
There's many more places that need to be updated before we can convert
seq_printf() and friends to return void. But this patch set introduces
the seq_has_overflowed() and does some initial updates.

Please ack!

Thanks!

Joe Perches (6):
seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to seq_has_overflowed() and make public
netfilter: Convert print_tuple functions to return void
dlm: Remove seq_printf() return checks and use seq_has_overflowed()
dlm: Use seq_puts() instead of seq_printf() for constant strings
fs: Convert show_fdinfo functions to void
debugfs: Have debugfs_print_regs32() return void

Steven Rostedt (Red Hat) (2):
netfilter: Remove return values for print_conntrack callbacks
netfilter: Remove checks of seq_printf() return values
