It is possible for a KOBJ_REMOVE uevent to be sent to userspace way after the files are actually gone from sysfs, due to how reference counting for kobjects work. This should not be a problem, but it would be good to properly send the information when things are going away, not at some later point in time in the future. Before this move, if a kobject's parent was torn down before the child, when the call to kobject_uevent() happened, the parent walk to try to reconstruct the full path of the kobject could be a total mess and cause crashes. It's not good to try to tear down a kobject tree from top down, but let's at least try to not to crash if a user does so. Reviewed-by: Rafael J.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
