Commit Message

Matthias Maennich Aug. 13, 2019, 12:17 p.m. UTC
A script that uses the '<module>.ns_deps' file generated by modpost to
automatically add the required symbol namespace dependencies to each
module.

Usage:
1) Move some symbols to a namespace with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS() or define
   DEFAULT_SYMBOL_NAMESPACE
2) Run 'make' (or 'make modules') and get warnings about modules not
   importing that namespace.
3) Run 'make nsdeps' to automatically add required import statements
   to said modules.

This makes it easer for subsystem maintainers to introduce and maintain
symbol namespaces into their codebase.

I really can't express just how cool this patch is.  I was amazed when I
first saw it in action a long time ago, and still am.

Good catch! Thanks!
Actually it needs to be even 1.0.4, so I will just use
$SPATCH_REQ_VERSION from above.

How do you think about to avoid the duplicate specification of this identification?

* Where will the variable “srctree” be set for the file “scripts/nsdeps”?

* Would you like to support a separate build directory for desired adjustments?

* How do you think about to check error handling around such commands?

…

I suggest to assign the name for the temporary file to a variable
which should be used by subsequent commands.

$srctree is defined by kbuild in the toplevel Makefile.

No, as the purpose of this script is to directly patch the kernel
sources where applicable.

spatch emits a descriptive message on error. I will add a 'set
-e' to the script so that it aborts on errors.

I somehow don't agree that this is an improvement to the code as the
variable would likely be something like ${source_file_tmp}. Sticking to
${source_file}.tmp does express the intent of a temporary file next to
the original source file and the reader of the code does not need to
reason about the value of ${source_file_tmp}.

Cheers,
Matthias

How is this variable passed to the file “scripts/nsdeps”?

Will there occasionally be a need to provide a generated patch
(without in-place file modification)?

Would you dare to choose a shorter variable name?

I would find a code variant with less suffix repetition nicer.
