From be867b194a3ae3c680c29521287ae49b4d44d420 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Serge E. Hallyn" Date: Mon, 3 May 2010 16:23:15 -0500 Subject: sysfs: Comment sysfs directory tagging logic Add some in-line comments to explain the new infrastructure, which was introduced to support sysfs directory tagging with namespaces. I think an overall description someplace might be good too, but it didn't really seem to fit into Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt, which appears more geared toward users, rather than maintainers, of sysfs. (Tejun, please let me know if I can make anything clearer or failed altogether to comment something that should be commented.) Signed-off-by: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: Eric W.
