From 05a840aa75c8d3f38cddbc43fad623e8b52f736f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Al Viro Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 23:13:30 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] configfs_register_group() shouldn't be (and isn't) called in rmdirable parts revert 3ffa570d637c "configfs: fix registered group removal" It was an attempt to handle something that fundamentally doesn't work - configfs_register_group() should never be done in a part of tree that can be rmdir'ed. And in mainline it never had been, so let's not borrow trouble; the fix was racy anyway, it would take a lot more to make that work and desired semantics is not clear.
