This splitting is more meaningful and it should make the long pending review more interesting. There are no significant changes in the code except some cosmetic code re-arrangement and a couple of real changes in the error paths. 1) In fs/sysfs/dir.c:create_dir(), dput() was missing if we fail in sysfs_new_dirent() 2) Check for kmalloc() return value in fs/sysfs/symlink.c:sysfs_add_link(). I hope Viro will do the review soon. In the mean time I thought it will be nice if you could _replace_ the sysfs patches (six patches with names sysfs-leaves-xxx.patch) with the following patches (mailed separately). I will update them again based on the comments I get. Thanks Maneesh -- Maneesh Soni Linux Technology Center, IBM Austin email: maneesh@in.ibm.com Phone: 1-512-838-1896 Fax: T/L : 6781896
