# \[PATCH RFC 19/22\] platform/x86: thinkpad\_acpi: let procfs copy in writes - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:08:08 - List: linux-modules - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-modules/2026/11/17845387 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t/2.md ```text Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written to /proc/acpi/ibm/* before it pins the entry, and hand that copy to ->write(). procfs already rejects writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes.
