Akinobu Mita 39b5e6130b libfs: add DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for signed value
[ Upstream commit 2e41f274f9 ]

Patch series "fix error when writing negative value to simple attribute
files".

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c92 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), but some attribute files want to accept a negative
value.

This patch (of 3):

The simple attribute files do not accept a negative value since the commit
488dac0c92 ("libfs: fix error cast of negative value in
simple_attr_write()"), so we have to use a 64-bit value to write a
negative value.

This adds DEFINE_SIMPLE_ATTRIBUTE_SIGNED for a signed value.

README

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.
