From 7cb32942d91a501b2df944928ccc9e6590ab237b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:22:25 -0800 Subject: sysfs: Implement sysfs_rename_link Because of rename ordering problems we occassionally give false warnings about invalid sysfs operations. So using sysfs_rename create a sysfs_rename_link function that doesn't need strange workarounds.
