Re: [PATCH] Driver Core patches for 2.6.10-rc1

[PATCH] sysfs backing store: use sysfs_dirent based tree in file removal

From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@in.ibm.com>

o This patch uses the sysfs_dirent based tree while removing sysfs files
  and directories. This avoids holding dcache_lock by not using dentry
  based vfs tree. Thus simplyfying the removal logic in sysfs.

o It uses two helper routines sysfs_get_name(), to get the name for
  sysfs element and sysfs_drop_dentry() to delete the dentry given a
  sysfs_dirent.
