Subject: [RFC][PATCH 4/5] Documentation: add node files to sysfs ABI
Date: Fri, 11 Apr 2008 16:49:13 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080411234913.GH19078@us.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080411234743.GG19078@us.ibm.com>
/sys/devices/system/node represents the current NUMA configuration of
the machine, but is undocumented in the ABI files. Add bare-bones
documentation for these files.

Greg, is something like this what you'd want? Should I be striving for
more detail? Should the file have a preamble indicating none of it
exists if !NUMA?
