(such as assuming that the kobject is at the beginning of the structure)
and, instead, use the container_of() macro, found in ``<linux/kernel.h>``::
- container_of(pointer, type, member)
+ container_of(ptr, type, member)
where:
- * ``pointer`` is the pointer to the embedded kobject,
+ * ``ptr`` is the pointer to the embedded kobject,
* ``type`` is the type of the containing structure, and
* ``member`` is the name of the structure field to which ``pointer`` points.

exception where a single kobject should be created. To create such an
entry, use the function::
- struct kobject *kobject_create_and_add(char *name, struct kobject *parent);
+ struct kobject *kobject_create_and_add(const char *name, struct kobject *parent);
This function will create a kobject and place it in sysfs in the location
underneath the specified parent kobject. To create simple attributes
associated with this kobject, use::
- int sysfs_create_file(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute *attr);
+ int sysfs_create_file(struct kobject *kobj, const struct attribute *attr);
or::
- int sysfs_create_group(struct kobject *kobj, struct attribute_group *grp);
+ int sysfs_create_group(struct kobject *kobj, const struct attribute_group *grp);
Both types of attributes used here, with a kobject that has been created
with the kobject_create_and_add(), can be of type kobj_attribute, so no

When you are finished with the kset, call::
- void kset_unregister(struct kset *kset);
+ void kset_unregister(struct kset *k);
to destroy it. This removes the kset from sysfs and decrements its reference
count. When the reference count goes to zero, the kset will be released.
