The driver core standard is to pass in the properly typed object, the properly typed attribute and the buffer data. It stems from the root kobject method: ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct kobj_attribute *attr,..) Each subclass of kobject should provide their own function with the same signature but more specific types, eg struct device uses: ssize_t (*show)(struct device *dev, struct device_attribute *attr,..) In this case the existing signature is: ssize_t (*show)(struct kobject *kobj, struct device *dev,..) Where kobj is a 'struct mdev_type *' and dev is 'mdev_type->parent->dev'. Change the mdev_type related sysfs attribute functions to: ssize_t (*show)(struct mdev_type *mtype, struct mdev_type_attribute *attr,..) In order to restore type safety and match the driver core standard There are no current users of 'attr', but if it is ever needed it would be hard to add in retroactively, so do it now.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
