[PATCH net-next v2 01/10] sysfs: add sysfs_file_change_owner{_by_name}()

From: Christian Brauner <hidden>
Date: 2020-02-17 16:15:30
Also in: linux-pm, lkml
Subsystem: driver core, kobjects, debugfs and sysfs, filesystems (vfs and infrastructure), the rest · Maintainers: Greg Kroah-Hartman, "Rafael J. Wysocki", Danilo Krummrich, Alexander Viro, Christian Brauner, Linus Torvalds

Add helpers to change owner of a sysfs files.
The ownership of a sysfs object is determined based on the ownership of
the corresponding kobject, i.e. only if the ownership of a kobject is
changed will this function change the ownership of the corresponding
sysfs entry.
This function will be used to correctly account for kobject ownership
changes, e.g. when moving network devices between network namespaces.

/* v2 */
-  Greg Kroah-Hartman [off-list ref]:
   - Better naming for sysfs_file_change_owner() to reflect the fact that it
     can be used to change the owner of the kobject itself by passing NULL as
     argument.
- Christian Brauner [off-list ref]:
  - Split sysfs_file_change_owner() into two helpers sysfs_change_owner() and
    sysfs_change_owner_by_name(). The former changes the owner of the kobject
    itself, the latter the owner of the kobject looked up via the name
    argument.
