[PATCH] selftests/bpf: Fix bpf selftest build error
Posted by Saket Kumar Bhaskar 7 months, 1 week ago 
On linux-next, build for bpf selftest displays an error due to
mismatch in the expected function signature of bpf_testmod_test_read
and bpf_testmod_test_write.

Commit 97d06802d10a ("sysfs: constify bin_attribute argument of bin_attribute::read/write()")
changed the required type for struct bin_attribute to const struct bin_attribute.

To resolve the error, update corresponding signature for the callback.

You didn't even compile it :(

Instead of fixing the build, it breaks the build.

This patch is only needed in linux-next.  It should be applied to the
driver-core tree - since that includes commit 97d06802d10a.  It should
also have a Fixes tag referencing commit 97d06802d10a.

Hi Stephen,

Apologies for missing the Fixes tag. Would you like me to resend the patch with the 
Fixes tag included?

Thanks,
Saket

Yes, please, but send it to Greg (keeping the ccs) so that he can apply
it to the driver-core tree.
