[PATCH] kernel/workqueue.c: need call device_remove_file() when failureoccurs after called device_create_file()

From: Chen Gang
Date: Wed May 15 2013 - 02:14:23 EST



In workqueue_sysfs_register(), when failure occurs after called
device_create_file(), need call device_remove_file() to release the
related resources, then call device_unregister().

Or it will cause issue.

For individual 'device_attributs' (just like our case), need call
device_remove_file() explictly and then call device_unregister(),
please reference drivers/base/*.c (e.g node.c or cpu.c).
