[PATCH RESEND v2 13/30] locking/lockdep: let procfs copy in writes to /proc/lock_stat

Wed Nov 4 11:52:51 PST 2026


Implement ->proc_write_buf() so procfs copies in what is written before
it pins the entry, and look at the first character of that copy. Writes
larger than PAGE_SIZE - 1 bytes fail with -EINVAL now.
