[PATCH net-next 2/2] net: bridge: add warning comments to avoid extending sysfs

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Nikolay Aleksandrov <nikolay@xxxxxxxxxx>

We're moving to netlink-only options, so add comments in the bridge's
sysfs files to warn against adding any new sysfs entries.
