sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
sysfs: sysfs_add_one WARNs with full path to duplicate filename
As a debugging aid, it can be useful to know the full path to a
duplicate file being created in sysfs.
We now will display warnings such as:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' in the sysfs
root, or:
sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/bus/pci/slots/5/foo'
when attempting to create multiple files named 'foo' under a
given directory in sysfs.
The path displayed is always a relative path to sysfs_root. The
leading '/' in the path name refers to the sysfs_root mount
point, and should not be confused with the "real" '/'.
Thanks to Alex Williamson for essentially writing sysfs_pathname.
