Subject[PATCH] sysfs variable size files, lost dget, ...
 Hi,

While working on request_firmware() interface, I found some trouble
with sysfs and Greg said that you are the one to send this patches:

- sysfs-bin-flexible-size.diff:
Make dynamically sized files possible. And return the right
value on successful write.

- sysfs-bin-lost-dget.diff:
I was having trouble when calling request_firmware() from a work
queue, and after a little investigations it seams that this dget
got lost along the way. Adding it back fixed the issue.
Or am I causing a dentry leak now?

- sysfs-bin-header.diff:
I guess that I am the first user of sysfs's binary interface :-)

Thanks

Manuel

Let us have the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, courage to
change the things we can, and wisdom to know the difference.
