Subject[PATCH] sysfs: sysfs_setattr set iattrs unconditionally
From
Date

There is currently a bug in sysfs_setattr where the first time
we set the attributes on a sysfs file we allocate backing store
but do not set the backing store attributes. Resulting in overly
restrictive permissions on sysfs files.

This bug is masked by the fact we that we do update the vfs inode
so it will only show up after the vfs inode has been evicted
causing surprise sysfs attribute changes.

The fix is to simply modify the code so that it always executes
when we update the sysfs attributes, as we did in 2.6.31 and earlier.

This is a backported version of my similiar change for 2.6.33-rc6
against sysfs_sd_setattr, for the stable 2.6.32 tree.
