Hi ,
This is my first mail to the list .
Please have a look at the following satements in linprocfs_init() of
linprocfs.c file .

dir = pfs_create_dir(root, "net", NULL, NULL, 0);
pfs_create_file(dir, "dev", &linprocfs_donetdev,NULL, NULL, PFS_WR);


Even though we are giving the permission flag as PFS_WR  the file is
getting created with only read permission . Could any one you tell me
the reason for this ?

Regards,
N Ravi
