From 13b3086d2ea483cbcae5a4236446cecc082a72cf Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Thu, 14 Jun 2007 03:45:14 +0900 Subject: sysfs: add sysfs_dirent->s_parent Add sysfs_dirent->s_parent. With this patch, each sd points to and holds a reference to its parent. This allows walking sysfs tree without referencing sd->s_dentry which can go away anytime if the user doesn't control when it's deleted. sd->s_parent is initialized and parent is referenced in sysfs_attach_dirent(). Reference to parent is released when the sd is released, so as long as reference to a sd is held, s_parent can be followed. dentry walk in sysfs_readdir() is convereted to s_parent walk. This will be used to reimplement symlink such that it uses only sysfs_dirent tree.
