Subject: [HELPER PATCH 1] sysfs: Provide write method for paravirt
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 11:50:59 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119062100.1112520-17-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119062100.1112520-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
This is helper patch which could be used to set the range of CPUs as
paravirt. One could make use of this for quick testing of this infra
instead of writing arch specific code.
This is currently not meant be merged, since paravirt sysfs file is meant
to be Read-Only.
echo 100-200,600-700 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
100-200,600-700
echo > /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/paravirt
