Hi Greg, Please include this patch and the following one for sysfs. This is needed after the introduction of sysfs setattr functionality.
Thanks Maneesh o sysfs_chmod_file() must update the new iattr field in sysfs_dirent else the mode change will not be persistent in case of inode evacuation from cache.
