Hi, Yu!

Thank you for the fix, but this wrong check should be just removed, since root case of wrong sysfs file creation was fixed, as Christoph said [1]

Hi, Christoph

By the way, if we remove the checking, there will be two kernel warnings
when the problem happens. Maybe keeping the checking is better?

friendly ping ...

Thanks,

Hi, Pavel

Thanks for your response, with the root cause fixed, patch 1 is not
needed anymore. However, the overflow case in patch 2 is still
possible.

Does anyone plan to remove the checking?

Thanks,
Kuai
