I think you need some more documentation here, as I just noticed something "odd": > +static int gpio_block_value_unexport(struct gpio_block *block) > +{ > + struct device *dev; > + int i; > + > + dev = class_find_device(&gpio_block_class, NULL, block, match_export); > + if (!dev) > + return -ENODEV; > + > + for (i = 0; i < block->ngpio; i++) > + gpio_free(block->gpio[i]); > + > + device_remove_file(dev, &dev_attr_block_value); > + > + return 0; > +} Wait, what? You are removing a sysfs file in this function, from within a sysfs write: > +static ssize_t gpio_block_exported_store(struct device *dev, > + struct device_attribute *attr, > + const char *buf, size_t size) > +{ > + long value; > + int status; > + struct gpio_block *block = dev_get_drvdata(dev); > + int exported = gpio_block_value_is_exported(block); > + > + status = kstrtoul(buf, 0, &value); > + if (status < 0) > + goto err; > + > + if (value != exported) { > + if (value) > + status = gpio_block_value_export(block); > + else > + status = gpio_block_value_unexport(block); That looks like a recipie for disaster. Why do you allow userspace to do this? Anyway, the other fixups for how you create/destroy the attribute files looks great, thanks for making those changes. 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/
