Hi all, I was doing a kernel-wide audit on all of the binary sysfs files, and noticed a metric ton of them in the qlcnic driver.
The rules about binary sysfs files are that they can not be touched by the kernel at all, they are "pass-through" directly to the hardware, and it seems that this driver is not doing that properly. It also seems that almost all of these files are merely "debugging" files, but as I can't seem to find the relevant Documentation/ABI/ documentation for them, I can't be sure. So, any objection to me just deleting these entirely? Or, if they really are needed, can I just move them to debugfs, which is where I think they should have been from the beginning? Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the creation of these is totally racy, so I really doubt that anyone is using them otherwise they would have noticed this already. thanks, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
