I like it.  I still think the bdi registration code should be in
charge of taking the extra reference on the disk device's parent to
isolate / make clear why the extra reference is being acquired, but I
won't lose sleep if Jens takes your smaller change.

Thanks James!

Bart, do you have a test configuration already set up for this case.
Can you give the 2 patches from James a try?

Hello Dan,

The "sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename" issue is something I ran into sporadically before I started using my patch that fixes this issue. I have not yet found a systematic way to trigger this behavior. Anyway, I will drop my patch and will start testing James' two patches. It will take a few days to test these patches thoroughly.

Bart.
