[PATCH 0/2] PCI/VPD: Improve handling binary sysfs attribute

[Heiner Kallweit]

Since 104daa71b396 ("PCI: Determine actual VPD size on first access")
there's nothing that keeps us from using a static attribute.
This allows to significantly simplify the code.

[PATCH 1/2] PCI/VPD: Remove dead code from sysfs access functions

[Heiner Kallweit]

Since 104daa71b396 ("PCI: Determine actual VPD size on first access")
attribute size is set to 0 (unlimited). So let's remove this now
dead code.

Doesn't the 104daa71b396 commit log say "attr->size == 0" means the
size is unknown (not unlimited)?

But I don't think vpd.c does anything at all with attr->size other
than set it to zero.  Is there some reason we can't remove the
"attr->size = 0" assignment, too?

Maybe the sysfs attribute code uses it?  But I don't see vpd.c doing
anything that would contribute to that.

Sorry, I'm just puzzled.

If attr->size == 0, then sysfs code will not check whether a read/write
access is out of bounds. It expects that the respective driver returns
an error or less than the requested data when reading beyond the
actual size. And that's exactly what we do in the VPD code.

We could rely on zero-initialization of the allocated memory.
But leaving this assignment makes clear that sysfs code doesn't have
to check length restrictions.

Yes, attr->size is used by sysfs code only.

Wow, I'm surprised that there are only 50ish uses of BIN_ATTR_*():
s390/crypto, w1/slaves/..., and a few other places.  It always makes
me wonder when we're one of a small number of callers.  Seems OK
though.

Above is awesome.  Also maybe confirms that we could remove the
"attr->size = 0" assignment in the previous patch?

Not sure we need this.  Can't we use the .is_visible() thing and an
attribute group to get rid of the explicit sysfs_create_bin_file()?

Technically this assignment has never been needed, because the
attribute memory is kzalloc'ed. But it makes clear to the
reader that sysfs code isn't supposed to do any length checks.
