Consolidate dovec functions

Misc

These are notes for the dovec_consolidate branch

  • uint now supports arrays. - Previous comment was “Arrays are not supported… Do not add supporte for

    them. */

    • Its not necessarily wrong, we just add extra behavior

    • Option to return -EINVAL when there is more than one elem

  • Loosing -ERANGE - conv is called in the general macro but its return error code is replaced

    with -EINVAL.

    • Option to the do a

    err = conv(&neg, &lval, i, dir, table);
if (err)
  break;

  • proc_doulongvec_conv does not have a default converter in case conv arrives as NULL - Need something similar to do_proc_int_conv but with ulong

  • Comment in drivers/tty/sysrq.c(1135) should read: “Behaves like do_proc_intvec as it does not have min max”
