Add a helper to change the owner of a sysfs link. This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces. Signed-off-by: Christian Brauner <redacted> --- /* v2 */ - Greg Kroah-Hartman [off-list ref]: - Add comment how ownership of sysfs object is changed. /* v3 */ - Greg Kroah-Hartman [off-list ref]: - Add explicit uid/gid parameters. /* v4 */ - Christian Brauner [off-list ref]: - Add more documentation. --- fs/sysfs/file.c | 41 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ include/linux/sysfs.h | 10 ++++++++++ 2 files changed, 51 insertions(+)
