Subject: [PATCH 2/3] sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST case
Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 18:16:03 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20080514181603.411e834f@extreme> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080514181257.74fbb5aa@extreme>

It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is
when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case
the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to
generate bogus backtrace and errors.

Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the
remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.
