This can cause problems if the filesystem + expects discarded blocks to be explicitly cleared. If a + device reports that it deterministically returns zeroes + when a discarded area is read the discard_zeroes_data + parameter will be set to one. Otherwise it will be 0 and + the result of reading a discarded area is undefined. diff --git a/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight-driver-adp8870 b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight-driver-adp8870 new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..aa11dbdd794 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/ABI/testing/sysfs-class-backlight-driver-adp8870 @@ -0,0 +1,56 @@ +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/<ambient light zone>_max +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l1_daylight_max +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l2_bright_max +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l3_office_max +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l4_indoor_max +What: /sys/class/backlight/<backlight>/l5_dark_max +Date: Mai 2011 +KernelVersion: 2.6.40 +Contact: device-drivers-devel@blackfin.uclinux.org +Description: + Control the maximum brightness for <ambient light zone> + on this <backlight>.
