[PATCH net-next v3 3/8] kobject: kset_create_and_add() - fetch ownership info from parent

From: Tyler Hicks
Date: Fri Jul 20 2018 - 17:57:40 EST


From: Dmitry Torokhov <dmitry.torokhov@xxxxxxxxx>

This change implements get_ownership() for ksets created with
kset_create_and_add() call by fetching ownership data from parent kobject.
This is done mostly for benefit of "queues" attribute of net devices so
that corresponding directory belongs to container's root instead of global
root for network devices in a container.
