More to the point, how did you test this? Are you sure that that the value being echoed isn't being interpreted as a binary number? kernel/power/qos.c:pm_qos_power_read() looks to be looking for a 32-bit binary integer, but I'm not sure if that's where it gets read. Certainly, this 2013 article uses a C example to write a binary integer: https://access.redhat.com/articles/65410 Please double-check, thanks, Kim -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-doc" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
