Yes, which is probably wrong for the proc file. It should precisely mirror the current permissions of the object it refers to and change atomically with it. It also needs to handle revocation of rights properly and do all this race free. You can't actually do it, which is one reason all of this has to end up done right in V4L2 itself, and one of the flaws of the driverfs model when its abused for potentially user configurable things. ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net emial is sponsored by: Influence the future of Java(TM) technology.
