[patch 03/29] sysfs: fix sysfs_setattr

From: Greg KH
Date: Fri Jul 29 2005 - 20:58:47 EST



From: Maneesh Soni <maneesh@xxxxxxxxxx>

o sysfs_dirent's s_mode field should also be updated in sysfs_setattr(), else
there could be inconsistency in the two fields. s_mode is used while
->readdir so as not to bring in the inode to cache.
