BTW, resulting behaviour is bogus, regardless of layering violations - note that device_list_add() renames existing btrfs_device. *And* does so without holding ->device_list_mutex, so your patch would've cheerfully walked right into strcmp() vs. kfree() races. And while the order of kfree vs. reassignment in device_list_add() is clearly wrong, flipping it won't fix that problem. Try to formulate the rules for names you are generating - when do they change, what can we say about two mounts by comparing these names, when can two that used to give different names start giving the same and vice versa. You won't be happy with the result. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-fsdevel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
