From f90774e1fd2700de4a6e0d62866d34a26c544bd0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joe Perches Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2016 13:51:47 -0700 Subject: checkpatch: look for symbolic permissions and suggest octal instead S_ uses should be avoided where octal is more intelligible. Linus didst say: : It's *much* easier to parse and understand the octal numbers, while the : symbolic macro names are just random line noise and hard as hell to : understand. You really have to think about it. : : So we should rather go the other way: convert existing bad symbolic : permission bit macro use to just use the octal numbers. : : The symbolic names are good for the *other* bits (ie sticky bit, and the : inode mode _type_ numbers etc), but for the permission bits, the symbolic : names are just insane crap. Nobody sane should ever use them. Not in the : kernel, not in user space.
