Dude, look at the code, we do that already. And you're using it with dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate. Simply change the permissions of the attribute before calling device_create_file. pseudo: umode_t mode = 0; if (mci->set...) mode |= S_IWUSR; if (mci->get...) mode |= S_IRUGO; dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate.attr.mode = mode; device_create_file(&mci->dev, &dev_attr_sdram_scrub_rate); > No, on both cases, open() will return an error (-ENOENT against -EPERM). What if it is a shell script doing: cat /sys/devices/system/edac/mc/mc0/sdram_scrub_rate or similar? Simply fixing the permissions fixes *all* possible cases. -- Regards/Gruss, Boris.
