I've thought about it a bit and I wonder whether a better way to do this is implementing this at the kernfs layer. Something like (hopefully with a better name): s32 bpf_kernfs_knob_write(struct kernfs_node *dir, const char *knob, char *buf); So, about the same, but takes kernfs_node directory instead of cgroup. This would make the interface useful for accessing sysfs knobs too which use similar conventions. For cgroup, @dir is just cgrp->kn and for sysfs it'd be kobj->sd. This way we can avoid the internal object -> path -> internal object ping-poinging while keeping the interface a lot more generic. What do you think? Thanks. -- tejun
