Perhaps > !s test, in case you want to leave it, should be also commented. The old semantics were focused on sysfs usage, so clearing is by passing an empty string. In the case of sysfs empty string is actually "\n". I intend to keep the semantics also for the in-kernel usage and in such case empty string can be also "". If I understand your comment correctly, you propose to change it to NULL for in-kernel usage, but that would change the semantics. > Another approach is to split above to two checks and move !s after !len.

Slightly more code, but indeed maybe easier to follow. I'll do like this. Best regards, Krzysztof

Yes. It's also possible to have a wrapper for sysfs use. > > Another approach is to split above to two checks and move !s after !len. > > I don't follow why... The !override and !s are invalid uses. !len is a > valid user for internal callers, just like "\n" is for sysfs. I understand but always supplying s maybe an overhead for in-kernel usages.

Several core drivers and buses expect that driver_override is a dynamically allocated memory thus later they can kfree() it. However such assumption is not documented, there were in the past and there are already users setting it to a string literal.
