Why not use the simple_* functions which should prevent that type of thing? > > Signed-off-by: Daniel Gutson <daniel.gut...@eclypsium.com> > --- > Documentation/ABI/stable/securityfs-spi-lpc | 23 + Why is this going in securityfs at all?

THis is very x86-specific, what about ARM/MIPS/anything else? Perhaps a cpu/arch-specific thing instead? Again, which makes it seem like securityfs is not the thing for this, as it describes the hardware, not a security model which is what securityfs has been for in the past, right? thanks, greg k-h
