I think adding "random crap" to procfs is frowned upon nowadays, that's probably what he meant. Attributes should be in sysfs. What to expose is another question, you are right. If the interface is just temporary, it should probably go into debugfs. That way one can have the code in the kernel proper, not fear about freezing it, and prevent people from finding it by accident. And it should be guarded by an "EXPERIMENTAL, DANGEROUS" Kconfig option in any case. -- Pekka Paalanen http://www.iki.fi/pq/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev -- _______________________________________________ Dri-devel mailing list Dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/dri-devel
