Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: sysfs_sd_setattr set iattrs unconditionally
Date: Wed, 03 Feb 2010 23:13:24 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <m1hbpxlbhn.fsf_-_@fess.ebiederm.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100203142218.GA27676@suse.de> (Greg KH's message of "Wed\, 3 Feb 2010 06\:22\:18 -0800")


There is currently a bug in sysfs_sd_setattr inherited from
sysfs_setattr in 2.6.32 where the first time we set the attributes
on a sysfs file we allocate backing store but do not set the
backing store attributes.  Resulting in overly restrictive
permissions on sysfs files.

The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes
when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.
