[PATCH 04/20] sysfs: Handle the general case of removing of directories with subdirectories

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Modify sysfs to properly remove directories containing attributes and
subdirectories.  The code is relatively simple and means we don't have
to worry about what might use this logic.

In a quick survey I have only found /sys/dev/char and /sys/dev/block that are
removing non-enmpty directories today (and they are exclusively filled with symlinks).
So only removing empty directories does not appear to be an option.

I don't hold sysfs_mutex across the entire operation as that is unneeded
for coherence at the sysfs level and some level of coordination is expected
at the upper layers.
