From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xxxxxxxxxxxx> device_shutdown is defined to just shutdown the hardware and to not clean up any kernel data structures. Therefore don't put the kobjects for /sys/dev and /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char. This ensures we don't remove /sys/dev/block and /sys/dev/char while we still have symlinks from there to the actual devices. Acked-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@xxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Eric W.
