I think here we have sd->s_element as NULL. This is probably due to
my mistake in
gregkh-driver-sysfs-fix-problem-with-duplicate-sysfs-directories-and-files.patch
NULL s_element which is used as cursor element is added to the s_children
list in sysfs_dir_open() and is removed in sysfs_dir_close(). So if in
between s_children is parsed, one can see sysfs_dirent with NULL s_element.
Please try the following patch on top of -mm1
Thanks
Maneesh
o sysfs_dirent_exist() should ignore sysfs_dirent with NULL s_element
as such element could have been added internally as cursor due to
->open() on parent directory.
