Subject: [PATCH] 2.6.24: restore missing sysfs max_cstate attr
Date: Fri, 30 Nov 2007 14:06:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <47505F2B.2090109@rtr.ca> (raw)
Len, is there any good reason why max_cstate was made invisible in 2.6.24,
breaking my userspace scripts that access it?
Here's a patch to fix the regression from 2.6.23:
Restore visibility of /sys/module/processor/parameters/max_cstate
for compatibility with kernels prior to 2.6.24.
I have scripts here that rely upon it.

Patch is against 2.6.24-rc3-git5.
