I am good with the "default" catch all clause but the change in behaviour has to be documented. Otherwise people can be mislead in thinking that a regression has happened.
Before this patch:
root@nano:~# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/stp-policy/20100000.stm.test root@nano:~# echo 20100000.stm > /sys/class/stm_source/ftrace/stm_source_link root@linaro-nano:~# cat /sys/class/stm_source/ftrace/stm_source_link 20100000.stm
After this patch: root@nano:~# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/stp-policy/20100000.stm.test root@nano:~# echo 20100000.stm > /sys/class/stm_source/ftrace/stm_source_link bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument root@nano:~# mkdir /sys/kernel/config/stp-policy/20100000.stm.test/default root@nano:~# echo 20100000.stm > /sys/class/stm_source/ftrace/stm_source_link root@linaro-nano:~# cat /sys/class/stm_source/ftrace/stm_source_link 20100000.stm
