It shouldn't need a lot of code. After looking at the code, configfs doesn't look to me like it can be done horribly easily. It takes a least a subsystem and then a few structures to get things up and running. There also doesn't appear to be a good subsystem to plug into. > In fact there are already two different parser libraries for this: > lib/parser.c and lib/params.c.

Superficially, it seems like a good configfs fit, but I think configfs is only a good fit when you need to cram a _bunch_ of stuff into a _new_ interface. Here, we have a relatively tiny amount of data that has half of what it needs from an existing interface. -- Dave -- To unsubscribe, send a message with 'unsubscribe linux-mm' in the body to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxx For more info on Linux MM, see: http://www.linux-mm.org/ .
