[PATCH 1/2] sysfs: fix sysfs_chmod_file

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Greg,

Please include this patch and the following one for sysfs. This is needed
after the introduction of sysfs setattr functionality.


Thanks
Maneesh



o sysfs_chmod_file() must update the new iattr field in sysfs_dirent else
  the mode change will not be persistent in case of inode evacuation from
  cache.
