Re: [PATCH] 9p: basic sysfs support

From: Latchesar Ionkov
Date: Fri Nov 02 2007 - 15:14:20 EST


This patch adds only the basic 9p functionality, we use the sysfs
interface extensively for configuring the 9p in-kernel servers (patch
7 in the series). The v9fs filesyste will probably add some more
subdirectories for authenticating users and mapping user names to
uids...

Thanks,
Lucho
