Such a value can be represented as an error-code integer +(-Exxx = failure, 0 = success) or a "succeeded" boolean (0 = failure, +non-zero = success). + +Mixing up these two sorts of representations is a fertile source of +difficult-to-find bugs. If the C language included a strong distinction +between integers and booleans then the compiler would find these mistakes +for us... but it doesn't. To help prevent such bugs, always follow this +convention: + + If the name of a function is an action or an imperative command, + the function should return an error-code integer. If the name + is a predicate, the function should return a "succeeded" boolean. + +For example, "add work" is a command, and the add_work() function returns 0 +for success or -EBUSY for failure. In the same way, "PCI device present" is +a predicate, and the pci_dev_present() function returns 1 if it succeeds in +finding a matching device or 0 if it doesn't. + +All EXPORTed functions must respect this convention, and so should all +public functions. Private (static) functions need not, but it is +recommended that they do. + +Functions whose return value is the actual result of a computation, rather +than an indication of whether the computation succeeded, are not subject to +this rule. Generally they indicate failure by returning some out-of-range +result. Typical examples would be functions that return pointers; they use +NULL or the ERR_PTR mechanism to report failure. + + Appendix I: References diff --git a/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl b/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl index f8fe882e33dc..6d4b1ef5b6f1 100644 --- a/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl +++ b/Documentation/DocBook/kernel-api.tmpl @@ -181,27 +181,6 @@ X!Ilib/string.c </sect1> </chapter> - <chapter id="proc"> - <title>The proc filesystem</title> - - <sect1><title>sysctl interface</title> -!Ekernel/sysctl.c - </sect1> - - <sect1><title>proc filesystem interface</title> -!Ifs/proc/base.c - </sect1> - </chapter> - - <chapter id="debugfs"> - <title>The debugfs filesystem</title> - - <sect1><title>debugfs interface</title> -!Efs/debugfs/inode.c -!Efs/debugfs/file.c - </sect1> - </chapter> - <chapter id="vfs"> <title>The Linux VFS</title> <sect1><title>The Filesystem types</title> @@ -234,6 +213,50 @@ X!Ilib/string.c </sect1> </chapter> + <chapter id="proc"> + <title>The proc filesystem</title> + + <sect1><title>sysctl interface</title> +!Ekernel/sysctl.c + </sect1> + + <sect1><title>proc filesystem interface</title> +!Ifs/proc/base.c + </sect1> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="sysfs"> + <title>The Filesystem for Exporting Kernel Objects</title> +!Efs/sysfs/file.c +!Efs/sysfs/symlink.c +!Efs/sysfs/bin.c + </chapter> + + <chapter id="debugfs"> + <title>The debugfs filesystem</title> + + <sect1><title>debugfs interface</title> +!Efs/debugfs/inode.c +!Efs/debugfs/file.c + </sect1> + </chapter> + + <chapter id="relayfs"> + <title>relay interface support</title> + + <para> + Relay interface support + is designed to provide an efficient mechanism for tools and + facilities to relay large amounts of data from kernel space to + user space. + </para> + + <sect1><title>relay interface</title> +!Ekernel/relay.c +!Ikernel/relay.c + </sect1> + </chapter> + <chapter id="netcore"> <title>Linux Networking</title> <sect1><title>Networking Base Types</title> @@ -349,13 +372,6 @@ X!Earch/i386/kernel/mca.c </sect1> </chapter> - <chapter id="sysfs"> - <title>The Filesystem for Exporting Kernel Objects</title> -!Efs/sysfs/file.c -!Efs/sysfs/symlink.c -!Efs/sysfs/bin.c - </chapter> - <chapter id="security"> <title>Security Framework</title> !Esecurity/security.c @@ -386,6 +402,7 @@ X!Iinclude/linux/device.h --> !Edrivers/base/driver.c !Edrivers/base/core.c +!Edrivers/base/class.c !Edrivers/base/firmware_class.c !Edrivers/base/transport_class.c !Edrivers/base/dmapool.c @@ -437,6 +454,11 @@ X!Edrivers/pnp/system.c !Eblock/ll_rw_blk.c </chapter> + <chapter id="chrdev"> + <title>Char devices</title> +!Efs/char_dev.c + </chapter> + <chapter id="miscdev"> <title>Miscellaneous Devices</title> !Edrivers/char/misc.c diff --git a/Documentation/HOWTO b/Documentation/HOWTO index 1d6560413cc5..d6f3dd1a3464 100644 --- a/Documentation/HOWTO +++ b/Documentation/HOWTO @@ -375,6 +375,26 @@ of information is needed by the kernel developers to help track down the problem. +Managing bug reports +-------------------- + +One of the best ways to put into practice your hacking skills is by fixing +bugs reported by other people.
