| |
Add helpers to change the owner of a sysfs files. This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.
Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com> --- /* v2 */ - Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>: - Better naming for sysfs_file_change_owner() to reflect the fact that it can be used to change the owner of the kobject itself by passing NULL as argument. - Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>: - Split sysfs_file_change_owner() into two helpers sysfs_change_owner() and sysfs_change_owner_by_name(). The former changes the owner of the kobject itself, the latter the owner of the kobject looked up via the name argument.
/* v3 */ - Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>: - Add explicit uid/gid parameters.
/* v4 */ - Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>: - Remove the second helper which changes the ownership of the kobject itself and do it in-place instead later on in the series. A separate helper is not needed for that. - Christian Brauner <christian.brauner@ubuntu.com>: - Add more documentation. --- fs/sysfs/file.c | 47 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/sysfs.h | 10 +++++++++ 2 files changed, 57 insertions(+)
