From: Sven Eckelmann Date: Mon, 13 Jun 2016 05:41:32 +0000 (+0200) Subject: batman-adv: Avoid sysfs name collision for netns moves X-Git-Url: https://git.stricted.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4acb1086bc972f69e1ae14ec5b4473bc6c02dd5;p=GitHub%2Fmoto-9609%2Fandroid_kernel_motorola_exynos9610.git batman-adv: Avoid sysfs name collision for netns moves The kobject_put is only removing the sysfs entry and corresponding entries when its reference counter becomes zero. This tends to lead to collisions when a device is moved between two different network namespaces because some of the sysfs files have to be removed first and then added again to the already moved sysfs entry. WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 290 at lib/kobject.c:240 kobject_add_internal+0x5ec/0x8a0 kobject_add_internal failed for batman_adv with -EEXIST, don't try to register things with the same name in the same directory. But the caller of kobject_put can already remove the sysfs entry before it does the kobject_put. This removal is done even when the reference counter is not yet zero and thus avoids the problem.
