[PATCH v3 1/2] virt: vbox: convert to use dev_groups

From: Jiasheng Jiang
Date: Thu Sep 01 2022 - 10:46:40 EST


The driver core supports the ability to handle the creation and removal
of device-specific sysfs files in a race-free manner. Moreover, it can
guarantee the success of creation. Therefore, it should be better to
convert to use dev_groups.

Fixes: 0ba002bc4393 ("virt: Add vboxguest driver for Virtual Box Guest integration")
Signed-off-by: Jiasheng Jiang <jiasheng@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Change log:

v2-> v3:

1. Switch to use an attribute group.

v1 -> v2:

1. Use gdev->dev instead of dev.
2. Remove file when creation failed.
