Subject: [PATCH 40/46] kobject: Cleanup kobject_rename and !CONFIG_SYSFS
Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2008 10:10:41 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1224177047-11859-40-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20081016170954.GA11824@kroah.com>
From: Eric W. Biederman <ebiederm@xmission.com>
It finally dawned on me what the clean fix to sysfs_rename_dir
calling kobject_set_name is. Move the work into kobject_rename
where it belongs. The callers serialize us anyway so this is
safe.
