Hello Greg, The reason why we use sysfs instead of configfs is that we do not only want to export kernel objects to user space but because we also want to allow configuration from user space. As far as I can see configfs has been designed to allow configuration from user space only and not for exporting kernel objects. A quote from Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt: 12 [What is configfs?] 13 14 configfs is a ram-based filesystem that provides the converse of 15 sysfs's functionality. Where sysfs is a filesystem-based view of 16 kernel objects, configfs is a filesystem-based manager of kernel 17 objects, or config_items.
