From 4f393828d1dae28905447fcc9845ba0b5f414c62 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 28 Apr 2007 20:04:48 -0300 Subject: V4L/DVB (5573): Pvrusb2: kill unnecessary attribute->owner sysfs is now completely out of driver/module lifetime game. After deletion, a sysfs node doesn't access anything outside sysfs proper, so there's no reason to hold onto the attribute owners. Note that often the wrong modules were accounted for as owners leading to accessing removed modules. This patch kills now unnecessary attribute->owner. Note that with this change, userland holding a sysfs node does not prevent the backing module from being unloaded.
