Ok, can't sleep.. took a look. I have several problems here. The thing that makes it go *boom* is the __ATTR_NULL. Removing that makes it boot. Albeit it then warns me of multiple duplicate sysfs objects, all named "bdi". For some obscure reason this device interface insists on using the bus_id as name (?!), and further reduces usability by limiting that to 20 odd characters. This makes it quite useless. I tried fudging around that limit by using device_rename and kobject_rename, but to no avail. Really, it should not be this hard to use, trying to expose a handfull of simple integers to userspace should not take 8h+ and still not work. Peter, who thinks sysfs is contorted mess beyond his skill. I'll stick to VM and scheduler code, that actually makes sense. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
