[PATCH] sysfs-iattr: add sysfs_setattr
o This adds ->i_op->setattr VFS method for sysfs inodes. The changed
attribues are saved in the persistent sysfs_dirent structure as a pointer
to struct iattr. The struct iattr is allocated only for those sysfs_dirent's
for which default attributes are getting changed. Thanks to Jon Smirl for
this suggestion.
