docs: filesystems: convert configfs.txt to ReST

2020-05-05T15:23:25Z

- Add a SPDX header; - Adjust document and section titles; - Use copyright symbol; - Some whitespace fixes and new line breaks; - Mark literal blocks as such; - Add it to filesystems/index.rst. Also, as this file is alone on its own dir, and it doesn't seem too likely that other documents will follow it, let's move it to the filesystems/ root documentation dir.

fs: configfs: don't return anything from drop_link

2016-12-01T09:50:49Z

Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt says: "When unlink(2) is called on the symbolic link, the source item is notified via the ->drop_link() method. Like the ->drop_item() method, this is a void function and cannot return failure." The ->drop_item() is indeed a void function, the ->drop_link() is actually not. This, together with the fact that the value of ->drop_link() is silently ignored suggests, that it is the ->drop_link() return type that should be corrected and changed to void. This patch changes drop_link() signature and all its users. Signed-off-by: Andrzej Pietrasiewicz [hch: reverted reformatting of some code] Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig

configfs: switch ->default groups to a linked list

2016-03-06T15:11:24Z

Replace the current NULL-terminated array of default groups with a linked list. This gets rid of lots of nasty code to size and/or dynamically allocate the array. While we're at it also provide a conveniant helper to remove the default groups.

configfs: implement binary attributes

2016-01-04T11:31:46Z

ConfigFS lacked binary attributes up until now. This patch introduces support for binary attributes in a somewhat similar manner of sysfs binary attributes albeit with changes that fit the configfs usage model. Problems that configfs binary attributes fix are everything that requires a binary blob as part of the configuration of a resource, such as bitstream loading for FPGAs, DTBs for dynamically created devices etc. Look at Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt for internals and howto use them. This patch is against linux-next as of today that contains Christoph's configfs rework.

Documentation: configfs examples crash fix

2011-05-27T00:12:34Z

When configfs_register_subsystem() fails, we unregister too many subsystems in configfs_example_init. Decrement i by one to not unregister non-registered subsystem.

Documentation: make configfs example code simpler, clearer

2010-11-18T23:00:46Z

If "p" is NULL then it will cause an oops when we pass it to simple_strtoul(). In this case "p" can not be NULL so I removed the check. I also changed the check a little to make it more explicit that we are testing whether p points to the NUL char.
