From d8bf8c92e80fed9119eb222c7e5cc88acf57c12c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vivien Didelot Date: Thu, 12 Mar 2015 09:58:27 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: Only accept read/write permissions for file attributes For sysfs file attributes, only read and write permissions make sense. Mask provided attribute permissions accordingly and send a warning to the console if invalid permission bits are set. This patch is originally from Guenter [1] and includes the fixup explained in the thread, that is printing permissions in octal format and limiting the scope of attributes to SYSFS_PREALLOC | 0664.
