Yeah sorry I wasn't clear. You are right that it shouldn't use the
platform. So I think we agree FW_FEATURE is the right way to go.

No, not really.

I didn't object to using the FW test, it's a reasonable way to do it, I
objected to using the platform as an indication (powernv vs. pseries)

PURR

In the kernel history/source we refer to it as "phyp". However in this
case it's not an issue with phyp, it's simply that you are not in
hypervisor mode, ie. the same crash would occur under KVM.

So you should just say "writing to the file in guest mode .."

I think Ben's wrong about that.

Almost all existing code uses FW_FEATURE_LPAR to differentiate
hypervisor vs guest mode, so I think we should do the same here.

So it would be:

Why does it take a void *, which then requires a cast at the call site?

And do you need the cast to short? If so shouldn't you use umode_t
directly?

[PATCH V2] powerpc/kernel/sysfs: disable writing to purr in non-powernv

[Madhavan Srinivasan]

powerpc/kernel/sysfs.c exports purr with write permission.
This is only valid for kernel in hypervisor mode.
But writing to the file in PowerVM lpar causes crash.
