Eh.. my lock patch can only prevent concurrent creation of the same
name target on the same backend device, not the concurrent creation of
same name target on different backend devices, since target management
is protect by per device's gn->lock not
the global nvm_lock now.

We may create targets with same name on different
backend devices, this is not what we want, so append
the device name to target name to make the new target
name unique in the system.

Hi Wenwei, what about the case where a target instance has multiple
devices
associated?
You mean a target may be build on multiple backend devices ?
Yes. Over time, we want a single target to manage many devices.
I am okay with having the user choosing a unique name for the target to
be
exposed.
You mean user should check the name before create the target?
Sure. It is him that decides the name of the device. Your lock patch fixes
the panic that could happen. I am happy with that.
Before move target mgmt into media mgr, that would be okay(after apply
lightnvm: hold lock until finish the target creation), since all
targets are in the global list.
Now consider below case:
There are two users A and B. A want to create target test0 upon
device0 B want to create test0 upon device1,
before creation they both check whether test0 is exist (e.g. by list
/dev/test0) , they all find test0 is not exist now, and they continue
their
creation. Both of them use disk name test0 to call add_disk, that
would cause panic.
You are right. The right way is properly to not allow the user to define
a device name, and instead rely on generic naming and UUID.
