Subject: [PATCH 07/15] sysfs: kill unnecessary sysfs_get() in open paths
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2007 16:05:10 +0900	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <11902719102893-git-send-email-htejun@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <11902719091692-git-send-email-htejun@gmail.com>

There's no reason to get an extra reference to sysfs_dirent for an
open file.  Open file has a reference to the dentry which in turn has
a reference to sysfs_dirent.  This is fairly obvious as otherwise open
itself won't be able to access the sysfs_dirent.  Kill the extra
sysfs_get() and matching sysfs_put().
