But the kernel is the thing that is creating the file, so shouldn't it be created no matter the permission setting?

Put it in the "create the debugfs file" function and you should be fine. 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/
