Subject: debugfs_create_{u,x,s}{8,16,32,64}
Date: Wed, 13 Aug 2014 14:57:05 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53EBDF31.7010204@nvidia.com> (raw)

Greg,

Back in December 2007 Mattias Nissler proposed a patch defining 
debugfs_create_s32 and friends. In it he reworked the already existent u 
and x versions. The subject of Mattias's mail was "[PATCH] debugfs: 
Revamp debugfs_create_{u,x,s}{8,16,32,64} to support signed integers".

As I'm writing a new driver related to thermal management, I'm finding 
the absence of debugfs_create_s32 to be a stumbling block. I see at 
least two other folks who have stumbled on the absence of 
debugfs_create_s32 in the past few years.

Why didn't we merge Mattias's patch? Would you entertain a similar patch 
today?

Thanks,
Matt Longnecker
