From: Parav Pandit <parav@xxxxxxxxxxxx> This patch fixes the case where 'lifespan' entry of the hw_counters is not writable. Currently write callback is not exposed for for the hw_counters sysfs operation. Due to this, modifying lifespan value results into permission denied error in below example. echo 10 > /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_0/ports/1/hw_counters/lifespan -bash: /sys/class/infiniband/mlx5_0/ports/1/hw_counters/lifespan: Permission denied This patch adds the hook to modify any attribute which implements store() operation.
