# \[PATCH RFC 09/22\] sh: alignment: let procfs copy in writes - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:04:40 - List: linuxppc-dev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/linuxppc-dev/2026/11/17845361 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t.md ```text Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written to the alignment files before it pins the entry, and take the mode from that copy. Writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail with -EINVAL now.
