the given range, use the prandom_u32_max() function, which only takes
the minimum required bytes from the RNG and avoids divisions. This was
done mechanically with this coccinelle script:

Now that all in-kernel users of default_attrs for the kobj_type are gone
and converted to properly use the default_groups pointer instead, it can
be safely removed.

There is one standard way to create sysfs files in a kobj_type, and not
two like before, causing confusion as to which should be used.

This way instances of kobj_type (which contain function pointers) can be
stored in .rodata, which means that they cannot be [easily/accidentally]

<title>kobject: unexport kobject_create() in kobject.h</title>

The function kobject_create() is only used by one caller,
kobject_create_and_add(), no other driver uses it, nor is exported to
other modules.

However it's still exported in kobject.h, and can sometimes confuse
users of kobject.h.

Since all users should call kobject_create_and_add(), or if extra
attributes are needed, should alloc the memory manually then call
kobject_init_and_add().

If kobject_del() is invoked by kobject_cleanup() to delete the
target kobject, it may cause its parent kobject to be freed
before invoking the target kobject's -&gt;release() method, which
effectively means freeing the parent before dealing with the
child entirely.

That is confusing at best and it may also lead to functional
issues if the callers of kobject_cleanup() are not careful enough
about the order in which these calls are made, so avoid the
problem by making kobject_cleanup() drop the last reference to
the target kobject's parent at the end, after invoking the target
kobject's -&gt;release() method.

  drop the parent reference only when __kobject_del() has been

Pull driver core updates from Greg KH:
 "Here is the set of driver core patches for 5.8-rc1.

  Not all that huge this release, just a number of small fixes and
  updates:

   - software node fixes

   - kobject now sends KOBJ_REMOVE when it is removed from sysfs, not
     when it is removed from memory (which could come much later)

   - device link additions and fixes based on testing on more devices

   - firmware core cleanups

   - other minor changes, full details in the shortlog

  All have been in linux-next for a while with no reported issues"

<title>kobject: send KOBJ_REMOVE uevent when the object is removed from sysfs</title>

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.

Some filesystem references got broken by a previous patch
series I submitted. Address those.
