[PATCH] enclosure: fix sysfs symlinks creation when using multipath

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



With multipath, it may happen that the same device is passed
to enclosure_add_device() multiple times and that the enclosure_add_links()
function fails to create the symlinks because the device's sysfs
directory entry is still NULL.
In this case, the links will never be created because all the subsequent
calls to enclosure_add_device() will immediately fail with EEXIST.

This is an example of what happens:

[   75.192722] enclosure_add_device(0:0:27:0) called, device already exists

This patch modifies the code so the driver will detect this condition
and will retry to create the symlinks when enclosure_add_device() is called.
