  Update descriptions of seq_path() and seq_path_root():
  starting with commit v3.2-rc4-1-g02125a8, seq_path_root() no longer
  changes the value of root;
  starting with commit v3.2-rc7-104-g8c9379e, some arguments of seq_path()
  and seq_path_root() are const.

• 1f33c41c0   seq_file: Rename seq_overflow() to seq_has_overflowed() and make public ... Browse Code »

  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().

  Despite the fact that these functions have been around for years, they
  are little used (only 15 uses in 13 files at the preseht time) even
  though many other files use work-arounds to achieve the same result.

  By documenting them, hopefully they will become more widely used.

  Using create_proc_entry() + ->proc_fops assignment is racy because
  ->proc_fops will be NULL for some time, use proc_create() to avoid race.
