Subject: [PATCH 2/9] sysfs: add growable flag to struct bin_attribute
Date: Wed, 6 Oct 2021 17:09:47 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211007000954.30621-3-zev@bewilderbeest.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20211007000954.30621-1-zev@bewilderbeest.net>
Previously, sysfs_kf_bin_write() unconditionally disallowed writing
past the existing size of the file. In order to support mutable
device-tree status properties (which are bin_attributes), we need to
be able to write a longer value over a shorter existing one
(e.g. writing "reserved\n" over "okay\0"). bin_attributes that
require this can now set the growable flag to disable that checking
and allow arbitrary amounts of data to be written at arbitrary
offsets.
