[PATCH 17/28] Driver core: fix race in sysfs between sysfs_remove_file() and read()/write()

From: Oliver Neukum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> This patch prevents a race between IO and removing a file from sysfs. It introduces a list of sysfs_buffers associated with a file at the inode. Upon removal of a file the list is walked and the buffers marked orphaned. IO to orphaned buffers fails with

From: Oliver Neukum <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if a driver returns an error in fill_read_buffer(), the buffer will be marked as filled. Subsequent reads will return eof. But there is no data because of an error, not because it has been read. Not marking the buffer filled is the obvious fix.
