This helper function is to check whether the class file "/sys/class/net/*"
is existing or not.
In the next patch, this helper function will be used.

Reported-by: syzbot+830c6dbfc71edc4f0b8f@syzkaller.appspotmail.com
Fixes: b76cdba9cdb2 ("[PATCH] bonding: add sysfs functionality to bonding (large)")
Signed-off-by: Taehee Yoo <ap420073@gmail.com>
---

v1 -> v2:
 - use class_has_file_ns(), which is introduced by the first patch.

Again, this feels broken, it can not solve a race condition.

This function is considered to be used under rtnl mutex and
I assume that no one could use "/sys/class/net/*" outside of rtnl mutex.
So, I think it returns the correct information under rtnl mutex.

Thanks a lot!

But you are creating a globally exported function that can be called
from anywhere, and as such, is not useful because it has no locking or
hints of how to use it correctly at all.

Again, don't push this "solution" down to sysfs to solve, you know if
you have a device that is not cleaned up yet, so don't try to
rename/create a device of the same name before that is finished.

Yes, I agree with that.

Okay, Thank you for that.
I will find another way to fix it.
