From 7b595756ec1f49e0049a9e01a1298d53a7faaa15 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:45:17 +0900 Subject: sysfs: kill unnecessary attribute->owner sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded. For more info regarding lifetime rule cleanup, please read the following message. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/510293 (tweaked by Greg to not delete the field just yet, to make it easier to merge things properly.)
