remove "struct subsystem" as it is no longer needed

2007-05-03T01:57:59+00:00

We need to work on cleaning up the relationship between kobjects, ksets and ktypes. The removal of 'struct subsystem' is the first step of this, especially as it is not really needed at all. Thanks to Kay for fixing the bugs in this patch. Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

[PATCH] Fix race in efi variable delete code

2007-01-26T21:51:01+00:00

Fix race when deleting an EFI variable and issuing another EFI command on the same variable. The removal of the variable from the efivars_list should be done in efivar_delete and not delayed until the kobject release. Furthermore, remove the item from the list at module unload time, and use list_for_each_entry_safe() rather than list_for_each_safe() for readability. Tested on ia64.
