Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2008 15:56:58 -0800 From: Badari Pulavarty <pbadari@...ibm.com> To: Greg KH <greg@...ah.com>, Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: lkml <linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org> Subject: [-mm PATCH] sysdev_unregister() should call kobject_del() Hi Greg, While playing with hotplug memory remove on 2.6.24-mm1, I noticed that /sysfs directory entries are not getting removed. sysdev_unregister() used to call kobject_unregister(). But in 2.6.24-mm1, its only dropping the ref. It should call kobject_del() to remove the object. Correct ? With this change, the directories are getting removed correctly. Comments ? Thanks, Badari sysdev_unregister() should call kobject_del() to remove the object.
