We currently have hundreds of proc files that implement plain, read-only
seq_file based interfaces. This series consolidates them using new
procfs helpers that take the seq_operations or simple show callback
directly.
A git tree is available at:
git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git proc_create.2
Gitweb:
http://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc.git/shortlog/refs...
Changes since V1:
- open code proc_create_data to avoid setting not fully initialized
entries live
- use unsigned int for state_size
- dropped the s390/cio/blacklist hunk as it has a write method
- dropped the IPMI patch given that IPMI proc support is scheduled for
removal.
