I see what you're doing: /sys/devices/system/node/* files are contained in sysfs-devices-memory, but I think it would be helpful to have a more strict naming scheme so that the contents of a sysfs directory are described by a file of the same name. > @@ -0,0 +1,42 @@ > +What: /sys/devices/system/cpu/ > +Date: October 2009 > +Contact: Linux kernel mailing list <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> > +Description: > + A collection of CPU attributes, including cache information, > + topology, and frequency.
