Subject: [PATCH] mm/mempolicy: Fix weighted interleave auto sysfs name
Date: Tue,  7 Apr 2026 07:14:14 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260407141415.3080960-1-joshua.hahnjy@gmail.com> (raw)

The __ATTR macro is a utility that makes defining kobj_attributes easier
by stringfying the name, verifying the mode, and setting the show/store
fields in a single initializer. It takes a raw token as the first value,
rather than a string, so that __ATTR family macros like __ATTR_RW can
token-paste it for inferring the _show / _store function names.

Commit e341f9c3c841 ("mm/mempolicy: Weighted Interleave Auto-tuning")
used the __ATTR macro to define the "auto" sysfs for weighted
interleave. A few months later, commit 2fb6915fa22d ("compiler_types.h:
add "auto" as a macro for "__auto_type"") introduced a #define macro
which expanded auto into __auto_type.

This led to the "auto" token passed into __ATTR to be expanded out into
__auto_type, and the sysfs entry to be displayed as __auto_type as well.

Expand out the __ATTR macro and directly pass a string "auto" instead of
the raw token 'auto' to prevent it from being expanded out. Also bypass
the VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS check by triple checking that 0664 is
indeed the intended permissions for this sysfs file.

Before:
$ ls /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave
__auto_type  node0

After:
$ ls /sys/kernel/mm/mempolicy/weighted_interleave/
auto  node0

Based on latest mm-new: 96881c429af1
