And yes, multiple values per sysfs file are not allowed, sorry, please<br>
change this. If you need to configure your device through an interface<br>
like this, consider using configfs instead, that is what it is there<br>
for.</blockquote><div> </div><div>Documentation/filesystems/configfs/configfs.txt <<snip>><br><div><br> [Using configfs]<br><br> Like sysfs, attributes should be ASCII text files, preferably<br>
with only one value per file. The same efficiency caveats from sysfs<br> apply. Don't mix more than one attribute in one attribute file.<br><br></div>
It looks like configfs also does not allow multiple attributes per
file. So, in that case, shall we modify our sysfs code to support one
value per sysfs file? With this approach, the impact on user space applications that we have which depend on the qlgc_vnic driver sysfs interface will be less.<br>
