From 0599ad53fee2d084f9ba26247d7452f06a40d298 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stephen Hemminger Date: Wed, 14 May 2008 22:34:16 -0700 Subject: sysfs: remove error messages for -EEXIST case It is possible that the entry in sysfs already exists, one case of this is when a network device is renamed to bonding_masters. Anyway, in this case the proper error path is for device_rename to return an error code, not to generate bogus backtrace and errors. Also, to avoid possible races, the create link should be done before the remove link. This makes a device rename atomic operation like other renames.
