[Devel] [PATCH 1/4] sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory support

Eric W. Biederman ebiederm at xmission.com
Wed Jul 18 21:43:46 PDT 2007


While shadow directories appear to be a good idea, the current scheme
of controlling their creation and destruction outside of sysfs appears
to be a locking and maintenance nightmare in the face of sysfs
directories dynamically coming and going.  Which can now occur for
directories containing network devices when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is
not set.

This patch removes everything from the initial shadow directory support
that allowed the shadow directory creation to be controlled at a higher
level.  So except for a few bits of sysfs_rename_dir everything from
commit b592fcfe7f06c15ec11774b5be7ce0de3aa86e73 is now gone.

This patchset is against 589f1e81bde732dd0b1bc5d01b6bddd4bcb4527b
in Linus's tree.  I took a quick skim through your tree and all
of the sysfs patches appear to be merged.

Sorry for taking so long getting this done but the locking
changes in the last round for Tejun were significant.  Plus
there was some additional work needed to actually test the
shadow directory support.
