Then follow what they do.  Do they have multiple values in a single
file?  If so, they are broken and we should change that.

Hi Greg,

The only other block layer sysfs attribute I know of that reports multiple values is the queue/scheduler attribute. Here is an example of the output that can be produced by reading that attribute:

# cat /sys/block/sda/queue/scheduler
[mq-deadline] kyber bfq none

I don't think that changing the behavior of that attribute is an option because that would break existing user space software, e.g. the https://github.com/osandov/blktests/ test suite.

Thanks,

Bart.
