From a30f82b7ebc87cdec3ef48303278f02970086118 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Mon, 13 Jan 2014 13:51:36 -0800 Subject: Revert "sysfs, driver-core: remove unused {sysfs|device}_schedule_callback_owner()" This reverts commit d1ba277e79889085a2faec3b68b91ce89c63f888. Tejun writes: I'm sorry but can you please revert the whole series? get_active() waiting while a node is deactivated has potential to lead to deadlock and that deactivate/reactivate interface is something fundamentally flawed and that cgroup will have to work with the remove_self() like everybody else. IOW, I think the first posting was correct.
