329 A kset serves these functions:
331  - It serves as a bag containing a group of objects. A kset can be used by
334  - A kset is also a subdirectory in sysfs, where the associated kobjects
335    with the kset can show up.  Every kset contains a kobject which can be

343 contain their own kobject, but that kobject is managed by the kset code and
346 A kset keeps its children in a standard kernel linked list.  Kobjects point
347 back to their containing kset via their kset field. In almost all cases,

363 to destroy it.  This removes the kset from sysfs and decrements its reference
364 count.  When the reference count goes to zero, the kset will be released.

387 as the kset itself, but this function, if present, can override that name.
