This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled gpio: sysfs: fix gpio-chip device-attribute leak to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y-ckt extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11-ckt16. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y-ckt tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From f03799a400ba1202f08e06c93a1829d87056076d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Johan Hovold <johan@kernel.org> Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2015 13:00:04 +0100 Subject: gpio: sysfs: fix gpio-chip device-attribute leak commit 121b6a79955a3a3fd7bbb9b8cb88d5b9dad6283d upstream. The gpio-chip device attributes were never destroyed when the device was removed. Fix by using device_create_with_groups() to create the device attributes of the chip class device. Note that this also fixes the attribute-creation race with userspace.
