Why do you think it is proper to drop this mutex? It is introduced for a
reason.
I think the trace you are seeing is due to:
commit 988cd7afb3f37598891ca70b4c6eb914c338c46a
Author: Tejun Heo <tj@xxxxxxxxxx>
Date: Mon Feb 3 14:02:58 2014 -0500
kernfs: remove kernfs_addrm_cxt
where we started taking kernfs_mutex when adding/removing sysfs files.
Ultimately I think we may have to change switching protocol to a work
item to be done asynchronously from writing to sysfs attribute.
Thanks.
