This patchset restructures sysfs removal path so that there is single internal removal function which is fully recursive. This will be the only removal interface in the planned new interface based on sysfs_dirents instead of kobjects. This patchset contains the following four patches. 0001-sysfs-remove-sysfs_addrm_cxt-parent_sd.patch 0002-kobject-grab-an-extra-reference-on-kobject-sd-to-all.patch 0003-sysfs-make-__sysfs_remove_dir-recursive.patch 0004-sysfs-introduce-__-sysfs_remove.patch The patches are on top of linus#master c2d95729e3 ("Merge branch 'akpm' (patches from Andrew Morton)") + [1] [PATCHSET] sysfs: disentangle kobject namespace handling from sysfs and available in the following git branch. git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/misc.git review-sysfs-recursive-rm fs/sysfs/dir.c | 161 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- fs/sysfs/file.c | 4 - fs/sysfs/group.c | 4 - fs/sysfs/inode.c | 4 - fs/sysfs/symlink.c | 6 - fs/sysfs/sysfs.h | 14 ++-- lib/kobject.c | 12 +++ 7 files changed, 139 insertions(+), 66 deletions(-) Thanks. -- tejun [1] http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1560372
