From 832b6af198aefe6034310e124594cc8b833c0ef9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:08:56 -0800 Subject: sysfs: Propagate renames to the vfs on demand By teaching sysfs_revalidate to hide a dentry for a sysfs_dirent if the sysfs_dirent has been renamed, and by teaching sysfs_lookup to return the original dentry if the sysfs dirent has been renamed. I can show the results of renames correctly without having to update the dcache during the directory rename. This massively simplifies the rename logic allowing a lot of weird sysfs special cases to be removed along with a lot of now unnecesary helper code. Acked-by: Tejun Heo Signed-off-by: Eric W.
