This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled Subject: sysfs: Implement sysfs_delete_link to my gregkh-2.6 tree. Its filename is sysfs-implement-sysfs_delete_link.patch This tree can be found at http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/gregkh/gregkh-2.6/patches/ From ebiederm@xmission.com Thu Apr 29 12:47:27 2010 From: "Eric W.

Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com> When removing a symlink sysfs_remove_link does not provide enough information to figure out which tagged directory the symlink falls in. So I need sysfs_delete_link which is passed the target of the symlink to delete. sysfs_rename_link is updated to call sysfs_delete_link instead of sysfs_remove_link as we have all of the information necessary and the callers are interesting. Both of these functions now have enough information to find a symlink in a tagged directory. The only restriction is that they must be called before the target kobject is renamed or deleted. If they are called later I loose track of which tag the target kobject was marked with and can no longer find the old symlink to remove it. This patch was split from an earlier patch.
