Make two APIs look similar. Hence convert match_string() to be
a 2-argument macro. In order to avoid unneeded churn, convert
all users as well. There is no functional change intended.

Compile tested with `make allyesconfig` and `make allmodconfig`
on x86_64, arm, aarch64, powerpc64 (8 builds total).

I guess the best is to apply it to Linus' tree directly.
And now it seems a good timing as there are no new users
of this API either in v6.10-rcX, or in Linux Next.

But if you think differently, tell me.

Why do we think it's a good idea to increase and normalize the use of
double-underscore function names across the kernel, like
__match_string() in this case? It should mean "reserved for the
implementation, not to be called directly".

If it's to be used directly, it should be named accordingly, right?

Being in line with __sysfs_match_string() isn't a great argument alone,
because this adds three times the number of __match_string() calls than
there are __sysfs_match_string() calls. It's not a good model to follow.
Arguably both should be renamed.

BR,
Jani.

nice patch, I checked some (maybe most) of your changes. There
are a few unrelated changes which I don't mind, but there are two
errors where the error value changes from ENODEV to EINVAL.

Find the comments through the line.

a bit of unrelated changes here, but I guess no one will complain :-)

Another unrelated cleanup, but I don't complain

This is a logical change though, because we are changing from
-ENODEV to -EINVAL. Even if it might look the right thing, but
still, it's a logical change.

We could even thing of a "match_string_terminated" (or a better
name), but maybe it's too much?

pity here... this could have been a match_string, but the
MAX_INDEX is hardcoded outside the enum.

Also this return value is wrong.

Agreed. I want to get rid of any functions starting with an underscore
except for those that are basically the same function used internally for
convenience.

Perhaps "match_string_dynamic()"? Where it is used for dynamically
allocated arrays without known size. Or, allow a third parameter for
dynamic arrays.

#define match_string(_a, _s, ...)
	char _______STR[] = __stringify((__VA_ARGS__));	\
	if (sizeof(_______STR) > 3)			\
		__match_string(_a, _s, ##__VA_ARGS__);  \
	else						\
		__match_string(_a, _s, ARRAY_SIZE(_a));

What the above stringify((__VA_ARGS__)) does is to check the size of any
args added to match_string(). if there isn't any, it will turn into:
"()\0", which is of size 3. If you add an argument, it will be:
"(<arg>)\0", which will have a size greater than three.

(trace_printk() does this trick in include/linux/kernel.h).

This way, both:

 match_string(array, sting);

or

 match_string(array, string, size);

will work.

I hated the enormous cc list, so I didn't reply to all. But clearly
everybody else is just doing so.

Anyway, here's my NAK for this patch with explanation:

    https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=wg5F99-GZPETsasJd0JB0JGcdmmPeHRxCtT4_i83h8avg@mail.gmail.com/

and part of it was the naming, but there were other oddities there too.

It's a huge mess. "__" prefix is just so ambiguous I think it just
shouldn't be used or prolifierated, and it usually breaks Rusty Russells
API rules times over.

Consider __set_bit() from <linux/bitops.h>, used all over the place,
in contrast with set_bit() for example, what does "__" represent in
this context that makes __set_bit() different from set_bit()?

It means "non-atomic"...

How does a random contributor know this?

Yeah, you guess it. By the token of "everybody knows that".
(Grep, google, repeat for the number of contributors to the kernel.)

I was considering to send a script to Torvalds to just change all
this to set_bit_nonatomic() (etc) but was hesitating because that
makes the name unambiguous but long. I think I stayed off it
because changing stuff like that all over the place creates churn
and churn is bad.

Yours,
Linus Walleij
