From: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> In debugfs it's not enough to just set file mode to read-only to deny write access to a file, instead just don't provide the write method unless write access is really requested. Signed-off-by: Oleg Drokin <green@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I assume allowing run-time changes via /sys/module is preferrable, opposed to forced module unload and reload to change this option, but I can submit another patch to only depend on the module parameter too, please let me know. drivers/acpi/ec_sys.c | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/acpi/ec_sys.c b/drivers/acpi/ec_sys.c index bea8e42..6c7dd7a 100644 --- a/drivers/acpi/ec_sys.c +++ b/drivers/acpi/ec_sys.c @@ -73,6 +73,9 @@ static ssize_t acpi_ec_write_io(struct file *f, const char __user *buf, loff_t init_off = *off; int err = 0; + if (!write_support) + return -EINVAL; + if (*off >= EC_SPACE_SIZE) return 0; if (*off + count >= EC_SPACE_SIZE) { -- 2.1.0 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
