From 06fc0d66f7ed3a3b08e8fcf8c325ecf0b8f93fea Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2009 16:08:54 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] sysfs: In sysfs_chmod_file lazily propagate the mode change. Now that sysfs_getattr and sysfs_permission refresh the vfs inode there is no need to immediatly push the mode change into the vfs cache. Reducing the amount of work needed and simplifying the locking. Acked-by: Tejun Heo Acked-by: Serge Hallyn Signed-off-by: Eric W.
