Hi,
This patch series aims to address the sysfs creation issue for the ring
buffer by reorganizing the code. Additionally, it updates the ring sysfs
size to accurately reflect the actual ring buffer size, rather than a
fixed static value.
PFB change logs:
Changes since v5:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20250415164452.170239-1-namj...@linux.microsoft.com/
* Added Reviewed-By tags from Dexuan. Also, addressed minor comments in
commit msg of both patches.
* Missed to remove check for "primary_channel->device_obj->channels_kset" in
hv_create_ring_sysfs in earlier patch, as suggested by Michael. Did it
now.
* Changed type for declaring bin_attrs due to changes introduced by
commit 9bec944506fa ("sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs") which
merged recently. Did not use bin_attrs_new since another change is in
the queue to change usage of bin_attrs_new to bin_attrs
(sysfs: finalize the constification of 'struct bin_attribute').
Please fix up to apply cleanly without build warnings:
drivers/hv/vmbus_drv.c:1893:15: error: initializing 'struct bin_attribute **'
with an expression of type 'const struct bin_attribute *const[2]' discards
qualifiers in nested pointer types

Hi Greg,
I tried reproducing this error but could not see it. Should I rebase the
change to some other tree or use some specific config option, gcc version,
compilation flag etc.?
I tried the following:
* Rebased to latest linux-next tip with below base commit:
393d0c54cae31317deaa9043320c5fd9454deabc
* Regular compilation with gcc: make -j8
* extra flags:
make -j8 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wall -O2"
make -j8 EXTRA_CFLAGS="-Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers
-Werror"
* Tried gcc 11.4, 13.3
* Tried clang/LLVM with version 18.1.3 : make LLVM=1
I tried this against my char-misc-linus branch (which is pretty much
just 6.15.0-rc4 plus some iio patches), and it fails with that error
above.
BTW I had to edit the type for bin_attrs as this change got merged recently:
9bec944506fa ("sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs")
diff --git a/include/linux/sysfs.h b/include/linux/sysfs.h

};
That commit is not in my char-misc branches, that's coming from
somewhere else.

Hi Greg,
I can send a patch based on char-misc/6.15.0-rc4 which does not have this
patch, but I am worried that it will cause compilation issues when your
branch is merged with linux-next since this change is already there in
linux-next. Do you want me to proceed with sending a patch on 6.15.0-rc4?
Yes, because you want this fix in 6.15-final, right?
Here are more details of that patch:
"""
sysfs: constify attribute_group::bin_attrs
All users of this field have been migrated to bin_attrs_new.
It can now be constified.

"""
I know that patch, I will deal with that in linux-next when needed, you
shouldn't be worrying about it. I'm more concerned as to why your patch
was not being tested against Linus's tree if you expected it to be in
the latest release and backported everywhere as it you asked it to be.
thanks,
greg k-h
Sure, thanks. I'll rebase it to 6.15.0-rc4 and send the next version.
Regards,
Naman
