Cause: Previously sysfs plugin didn't support glob. Consequence: It wasn't possible to use path name expansion in sysfs section of profile configuration file. Fix: The code of sysfs plugin was improved to support glob. Result: Now it is possible to use path name expansion in sysfs section of profile configuration file, e.g.: [sysfs] /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq=3000000 The ? and [] globs are also supported, for details see: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212831#c4

Description Jeremy Eder 2015-04-17 12:41:21 UTC
Description of problem:

To support something like this:
[sysfs]
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck*/ignore_ce = 1

The trouble is thatthere is a machinecheck directory for each CPU, and the number of CPUs can differ.

# for i in `find /sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck*/ignore_ce` ; do echo -n "$i " ; cat $i ; done
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck0/ignore_ce 0
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck10/ignore_ce 0
/sys/devices/system/machinecheck/machinecheck11/ignore_ce 0

Comment 4 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-05-21 14:01:39 UTC
Now it supports so called Unix path name expansion. E.g. the following now works:

[sysfs]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq=3000000

or for 10 CPUs or less:

[sysfs]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu?/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq=3000000

or for only 4 CPU:

[sysfs]
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu[0-3]/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq=3000000

Do you need full regex or is the current glob enough?

Comment 5 Jaroslav Škarvada 2015-06-15 09:58:40 UTC
Glob is probably enough, thus changing subject of this BZ. If glob is not enough, let me know.
