From htejun@gmail.com Sat Apr 28 07:14:18 2007 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 22:39:42 +0900 Subject: [PATCH 19/21] sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner To: gregkh@suse.de, dmitry.torokhov@gmail.com, cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com, oneukum@suse.de, rpurdie@rpsys.net, stern@rowland.harvard.edu, maneesh@in.ibm.com, akpm@linux-foundation.org, linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org, htejun@gmail.com Cc: Tejun Heo Message-ID: <11777675821694-git-send-email-htejun@gmail.com> sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)
