Hi all, We have the following naming convention documented in Documentation/hwmon/sysfs-interface for fault files: in[0-*]_input_fault fan[1-*]_input_fault temp[1-*]_input_fault Some drivers follow this convention (lm63, lm83, lm90, smsc47m192). However some drivers omit the "input" part and create files named fan1_fault (pc87427) or temp1_fault (dme1737). And the new "generic" libsensors follows this second (non-standard) convention, so it fails to report fault conditions for drivers which follow the standard. We need to fix it all up so that we have a single convention and libsensors uses it. I would fix the drivers which do not follow the standard, and libsensors, however I start wondering if the short names aren't better. After all, we don't include the "input" part in alarm and beep file names, so it is questionable why we do it for fault conditions. Well, it might make some sense, but on the other hand the short name isn't ambiguous as far as I can see, so it would work too. So I just don't know. But what I know is that we must fix it quickly. Anyone has an opinion on why the long or the short names would be preferable? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
