That solves my trouble! ;-) I could not think of any scenario where a single subsystem has multiple ksets. the following quote from lwn (http://lwn.net/Articles/51437/) where subsystems are described, "A subsystem, thus, is really just a wrapper around a kset. In fact, life is not quite that simple; a single subsystem can contain multiple ksets. This containment is represented by the subsys pointer in struct kset; so, if there are multiple ksets in a subsystem, it will not be possible to find all of them directly from the subsystem structure" confused me. If there is no practical implications of a single subsytem with multiple ksets associated, it takes away a lot of (unnecessary) complexity. ;-) Sorry for the multiple post on this. Mea culpa.
