From a26cd7226c24c3be5dd5f48a74832fe64beb8489 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:45:14 +0900 Subject: sysfs: consolidate sysfs_dirent creation functions Currently there are four functions to create sysfs_dirent - __sysfs_new_dirent(), sysfs_new_dirent(), __sysfs_make_dirent() and sysfs_make_dirent(). Other than sysfs_make_dirent(), no function has two users if calls to implement other functions are excluded. This patch consolidates sysfs_dirent creation functions into the following two. * sysfs_new_dirent() : allocate and initialize * sysfs_attach_dirent() : attach to sysfs_dirent hierarchy and/or associate with dentry This simplifies interface and gives callers more flexibility. This is in preparation of object reference simplification.
