The new helper function is to find and get a class file.
This function is useful for checking whether the class file is existing
or not. This function will be used by networking stack to
check "/sys/class/net/*" file.

You can put the EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL() under here.
And can you document what this function actually is in some kerneldoc?
But, returning a kernfs_node from a driver core is _REALLY_ odd. Why do
you need this and who cares about kernfs here?
thanks,

Thanks, I will add some kernel-doc comment.

I fully agree with that.
My previous version of this function was here:
bool class_has_file_ns(struct class *cls, const char *name,
const void *ns)
{
struct kernfs_node *kn = NULL;
if (cls) {
kn = kernfs_find_and_get_ns(cls->p->subsys.kobj.sd, name, ns);
if (kn) {
kernfs_put(kn);
return true;
}
}
return false;
}
I wanted this function could be used in general cases.
But I thought this function couldn't be used in general cases.
So, I made class_find_and_get_file_ns() but I couldn't find
a more appropriate return type.
I think I'd rather to use class_has_file_ns() instead of
class_find_and_get_file_ns() because of an awkward return type.
How do you think about it?
