Subject: [PATCH 3/3] sysfs: remove BUG_ON() from sysfs_remove_group()
Date: Thu, 7 Feb 2008 12:02:19 -0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1202414539-4672-3-git-send-email-gregkh@suse.de> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20080207200140.GA4572@suse.de>
It's possible that the caller of sysfs_remove_group messed up and passed in an attribute group that was not really registered to this kobject. But don't panic for such a foolish error, spit out a warning about what happened, and continue on our way safely.
