From 87d2846fcf88113fae2341da1ca9a71f0d916f2c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Eric W. Biederman" Date: Wed, 13 May 2015 16:31:40 -0500 Subject: sysfs: Add support for permanently empty directories to serve as mount points. Add two functions sysfs_create_mount_point and sysfs_remove_mount_point that hang a permanently empty directory off of a kobject or remove a permanently emptpy directory hanging from a kobject. Export these new functions so modular filesystems can use them. Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Acked-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman Signed-off-by: "Eric W.
