Date: Thu, 18 Nov 2010 11:33:12 -0800 From: Joe Carnuccio <joe.carnuccio@...gic.com> To: Sonny Rao <sonnyrao@...ux.vnet.ibm.com>, "linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org" <linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org> CC: Milton Miller <miltonm@....com>, Andrew Vasquez <andrew.vasquez@...gic.com>, Linux Driver <Linux-Driver@...gic.com>, "James E.J. Bottomley" <James.Bottomley@...e.de>, "linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org" <linux-scsi@...r.kernel.org>, "linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org" <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: RE: [PATCH] [RFC] qla2xxx: Change parameter permissions in sysfs Sonny, The qla2xxx parameters that already had write permission do not require rebinding. The qla2xxx parameters that require rebinding have read only permission and do not require write persmission since these are the ones whose value can be set on driver load. The fact that some of the qla2xxx parameters had permission set to S_IRUGO|S_IRUSR was a "typo", it should have been S_IRUGO only, I have been in the process of addressing this in our drivers (here at QLogic).
