From 34358c26a2c96b2a068dc44e0ac602106a466bce Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2007 16:52:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] kobject: check for duplicate names in kobject_rename This should catch any duplicate names before we try to tell sysfs to rename the object. This happens a lot with older versions of udev and the network rename scripts. Cc: David Miller Cc: Kay Sievers Cc: Rafael J.
