[PATCH 0/13] sysfs lazification.

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

 



The sysfs code updates the vfs caches immediately when the sysfs data
structures change causing a lot of unnecessary complications.  The
following patchset untangles that beast.  Allowing for simpler
more straight forward code, the removal of a hack from the vfs
to support sysfs, and human comprehensible locking on sysfs.

Most of these patches have already been reviewed and acked from the
last time I had time to work on sysfs.

In net the patches look like:
