docs/sysfs: Specify ABI documentation requirements 2011-08-23T00:42:34+00:00 Bart Van Assche bvanassche@acm.org 2011-08-16T16:42:22+00:00 86028619b9f653a30f5aa0d331fdedd899a1eea5 Although it is expected nowadays that every new sysfs attribute is documented under Documentation/ABI, this is not yet mentioned in the kernel documentation.

docs/sysfs: show() methods should use scnprintf(). 2011-02-03T23:10:18+00:00 Bart Van Assche bvanassche@acm.org 2010-12-21T12:09:47+00:00 d3f70befd9a6ab79413f303109e2c701472e2785 Since snprintf() may return a value that exceeds its second argument, show() methods should use scnprintf() instead of snprintf().
