Subject: [RFC] dpaa2: replace system("echo ...") with file i/o
Date: Thu,  2 Jun 2022 14:49:57 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20220602214957.150071-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Using system() is a bad idea in driver code because it introduces
a number of potential security issues. The codeql analysis tool
flags this a potential security issue.

Instead just use normal stdio to do the same thing.

Compile test only, do not have this hardware and therefore can
not test this.
