The way the search algorithm works is that reduces the number of regex expressions that will be checked for a given file entry at sysfs. It does that by looking at the devnode name. For instance, when it checks for this file: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/iosf_mbi_pci/bind The logic will seek only the "What:" expressions that end with "bind". Currently, there are just a couple of What expressions that matches it: What: /sys/bus/fsl\-mc/drivers/.*/bind What: /sys/bus/pci/drivers/.*/bind It will then run an O(n²) algorithm to seek, which runs quickly when there are few regexs to seek. There are, however, some What: expressions that end with a wildcard. Those are harder to process. Right now, they're all grouped together at the "others" group. As those don't depend on the basename of the node, add an extra loop to ensure that those will be processed at the end, if not done yet.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
