[PATCH] kobject: export kobj_sysfs_ops

[PATCH] kobject: export kobj_sysfs_ops

[Jeff Mahoney]

struct kobj_attribute implements the baseline attribute functionality
that can be used all over the place. We should export the ops associated
with it. I have a series of patches on the linux-btrfs list that depend
on using kobj_sysfs_ops rather than re-implement them.

If you need this for other patches, would it be easier for you to just
take this patch with the btrfs patches so that there's no dependancy on
my tree for them?

If so, please add:

Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>

to this patch and pass it on, as I have no objection to it.

thanks,

Yep. This patch is actually posted with that series on the linux-btrfs
list. I just wanted to get your S-o-b since it touches kobjects.
