This is forward thinking patch :-) Other subsystems may create files/directories in proc/sysfs, and should check for bad names as well: /proc/2821/net/dev_snmp6/eth0 This looks exactly like something coming from userspace and making it into /proc, so the filter function doesn't belong to kernel/module/internal.h
