# \[PATCH RFC 18/22\] macintosh/via-pmu: let procfs copy in writes to the options file - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:07:49 - List: linux-fbdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fbdev/2026/11/17845377 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t/2.md ```text Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written before it pins the entry, and parse the option from that copy. Writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail with -EINVAL now.
