# sysfs\_break\_active\_protection(9)

break “active” protection

## NAME

sysfs\_break\_active\_protection - break “active” protection

## SYNOPSIS

**struct kernfs\_node \* sysfs\_break\_active\_protection(struct kobject \*** *kobj***, const struct attribute \*** *attr***);**

## ARGUMENTS

*kobj*

The kernel object *attr* is associated with.

*attr*

The attribute to break the “active” protection for.

## DESCRIPTION

With sysfs, just like kernfs, deletion of an attribute is postponed until all active .**show** and .**store** callbacks have finished unless this function is called. Hence this function is useful in methods that implement self deletion.
