Subject: [PATCH] Allow sysfs_remove_group() to be called on non-added groups
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 14:25:38 +1000 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <096fae99bd9797c5484ed8f4b87b82e58737cdc0.1189657514.git.michael@ellerman.id.au> (raw)
It would be nice to be able to do:
for_each_thing(thing) {
error = sysfs_create_group(&thing->kobj, attrs);
if (error) {
for_each_thing(thing)
sysfs_remove_group(&thing->kobj, attrs);
return error;
}
}
But there's a BUG_ON() in sysfs_remove_group() which hits if the attributes
were never added.
As discussed here ...
http://ozlabs.org/pipermail/cbe-oss-dev/2007-July/002774.html
.. we should just return in that case instead of BUG'ing.
