I do not understand, why is this needed? What does this fix?

I think this might break code as well, did you test this? What about
the root kobjects with no parent, you still need to set that, right?
What problem does this solve that you have run into?

Great, please fix that up.
> Secondly, the problem this patch wants to solve is： In this function, the parent variable is first called "kobject_get (kobj->parent) " assignment. When the parent is not null, the just obtained parent is assigned back to "kobj - > parent", which is meaningless. Actually, "kobj->kset->kobj" will be assigned to "kobj->parent" only when the parent is NULL. So this patch solves the problem of meaningless assignment.
Why is this a problem? What bug is this solving? Is the code somehow
now faster or smaller that can be measured?

I do not see a bug with this code, what is wrong with it?

I don't think the logic of the original code is self consistent.
This is not a bug, but it causes some unnecessary assignment operations.
This patch is to clean unnecessary assignment operations.

I no longer even remember what the patch was anymore here, sorry.
That's the problem when emails are not quoted properly :(

Are you sure? What would set the kobject parent to NULL then?
> This patch is to clean unnecessary assignment operations.
Are you sure there is anything unneeded? Have you measured the
performance issues here? What benchmark is affected by this?
