From 1f33c41c03daece85a84b8dcea5733f3efe3e2b0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 16:08:21 -0700 Subject: seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to seq_has_overflowed() and make public The return values of seq_printf/puts/putc are frequently misused. Start down a path to remove all the return value uses of these functions. Move the seq_overflow() to a global inlined function called seq_has_overflowed() that can be used by the users of seq_file() calls. Update the documentation to not show return types for seq_printf et al. Add a description of seq_has_overflowed().

As the return value of debugfs_print_regs32() has no users and the seq_file descriptor should be checked with seq_has_overflowed() instead of return values of functions, it is better to just have debugfs_print_regs32() also return void.
