Subject: [PATCH 1/4] sysfs: Remove first pass at shadow directory support
To: Greg KH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Cc: Greg KH <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Dave Hansen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Benjamin
Thery <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Linux Containers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Tejun Heo
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
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.
