[PATCH RESEND v2 11/30] latencytop: let procfs copy in writes to /proc/latency_stats

Wed Nov 4 11:52:21 PST 2026


Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written before
it pins the entry. The write only clears the statistics and doesn't look
at what was written anyway. Writes larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail
with -EINVAL now.
