Subject: [PATCH 6.1.y 1/2] mm: shrinkers: fix debugfs file permissions
Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2026 16:16:02 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260715201603.63084-1-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <2026071340-handed-risk-625c@gregkh>
From: John Keeping <john@metanate.com>
[ Upstream commit 2124f79de6a909630d1a62b01ecc32db9f967181 ]
The permissions for the files here are swapped as "count" is read-only and
"scan" is write-only. While this doesn't really matter as these
permissions don't stop the files being opened for reading/writing as
appropriate, they are shown by "ls -l" and are confusing.
