# \[PATCH RFC 02/22\] ARM: alignment: let procfs copy in writes - From: Christian Brauner \ - Date: 2026-11-02 15:02:27 - List: netdev - Page: https://ratatoskr.run/netdev/2026/11/17845345 - Thread: https://ratatoskr.run/linux-fsdevel/2026/11/17844895/t.md ```text Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written to /proc/cpu/alignment before it pins the entry, and take the mode from that copy. Writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail with -EINVAL now.
