Well, I am copying straight from ext4 here (and in other places),
that I thought was a good model.
Is there a better model?
I guess I can convert to sprintfs in most of places, though.

That would be true if only people did not apply patches to their kernels.
I guess we don't care all that much about kernel version here as it could be
obtained from uname,
but lustre version is kind of important for the case that people patch it up
(and they do), so can I leave just that?

I am definitely going to use debugfs in some cases.
This particular one I guess we'll need to split into per-obd health status
and the overall "system health" that could be easily queried.

Yes, they are static.

Again, I am going by the fine example of ext4 here.
But I am happy to spell it out if you think it's better that way.

This is how we tell the cleanup code that we are all done, though?
Otherwise if I do kobject_put there and move on (to module unload),
how all the other potential users of my kobject would be protected
from the code disappearign from under them?

I can dynamically allocate lustre_kobj, but that does not really help
this particular scenario.

ext4 does just that, so I imagined there was some significance here.

Also, before submitting these patches, I did test them. This does work (and why would it not, anyway? We call complete from lustre_sysfs_release above).

In fact cpufreq (the other code I am looking at for examples) does the same thing (Well, they do a bit more stuff in their .release method - they print a debug message ;).

Thanks!
