Right now my real challenge is untangling sysfs_move_dir. In the case of multiple mounts of the sysfs tree. My practical problem is that I need to hold a lock for the sysfs dirents and while that lock is held I need to call sysfs_get_dentry for the destination directory once for each superblock. It might be that some kind of reader-writer lock strategy is what I need to untangle this mess. Rather then making changing to i_mutex. All I know is at the moment it is taking a lot of code reading and brain storm to come of with something that is easy to maintain.
