It's the problem Cornelia reported in the thread the patch was posted. Okay, somehow it's missing lkml on cc list. I included everybody related but missed lkml. A lot of screw ups lately. My apologies. Currently, known problems are...
1. new sysfs_drop_dentry() not allowing drop of parent when it's not empty. Reported by Cornelia and this thread reports the same problem. I'm working on it now.
2. using sysfs_dirent pointer as sysfs inode number doesn't work because ino_t is smaller than ulong on some archs. It's also broken for 32bit apps on 64bit archs. Updated patch just submitted for review.
3. Sysfs rename doesn't work. I broke it during the first series of sysfs updates. Will fix in a few days.
Again, sorry for all the troubles. I'll be more careful.
