VERIFY_OCTAL_PERMISSIONS: stricter checking for sysfs perms.
Summary of http://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/14/363 :
Ted: module_param(queue_depth, int, 444)
Joe: 0444!
Rusty: User perms >= group perms >= other perms?
Joe: CLASS_ATTR, DEVICE_ATTR, SENSOR_ATTR and SENSOR_ATTR_2?
Side effect of stricter permissions means removing the unnecessary
S_IFREG from several callers.
Note that the BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO((perm) & 2) test was removed: a fair
number of drivers fail this test, so that will be the debate for a
future patch.
