[PATCH 2/2] netdev: create attribute_groups with class_device_add

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

 



Atomically create attributes when class device is added. This avoids the
race between registering class_device (which generates hotplug event),
and the creation of attribute groups.
