[PATCH] Support sysfs_notify from atomic context with new sysfs_notify_dirent
From: NeilBrown
Date: Sun Jul 20 2008 - 02:29:05 EST
sysfs_notify currently takes sysfs_mutex.
This means that it cannot be called in atomic context.
sysfs_mutex is sometimes held over a malloc (sysfs_rename_dir)
so it can block on low memory.
In md I want to be able to notify on a sysfs attribute from
atomic context, and I don't want to block on low memory because I
could be in the writeout path for freeing memory.
So:
- export the "sysfs_dirent" structure along with sysfs_get, sysfs_put
and sysfs_get_dirent so I can get the sysfs_dirent that I want to
notify on and hold it in an md structure.
- split sysfs_notify_dirent out of sysfs_notify so the sysfs_dirent
can be notified on with no blocking (just a spinlock).
