Hi Vincent,

Does the following patch help?

Kay/Greg, could you please review and add your Signed-off-by(s) as
required?

This is basically a port of the patch at
http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119404922603293

Thanks,

The sysfs interface for the Fair User Interface hits upon the bug
reported at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/12/10/113.

Kay Sievers and Greg K H had posted some sysfs cleanup patches sometime
back at http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=119404922603293 .

This patch has been ported to 2.6.22.14 + CFS v24 backport.
