Subject: sysfs: don't call notify_change
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=93265d13ea5c3ec5f61a8009407fbe046ce6b7c0;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fblogic.git

sysfs: don't call notify_change

sysfs_chmod_file() calls notify_change() to change the permission bits
on a sysfs file.  Replace with explicit call to sysfs_setattr() and
fsnotify_change().

This is equivalent, except that security_inode_setattr() is not
called.  This function is called by drivers, so the security checks do
not make any sense.
