Now if a new device replaced a old device, the sas address will change.
We unregister the old device and discover the new device in one
revalidation process. But after we deferred the sas_port_delete(), the
sas port is not deleted when we registering the new port and device.
This will make the sysfs complain of creating duplicate filename.
Fix this by doing the replacement in two steps. The first revalidation
only delete the old device and trigger a new revalidation. The second
revalidation discover the new device.

This is less than ideal: that is, restarting another discovery with this
artifical broadcast event. We do something similar when re-enabling
revalidation.
That will back to what we have discussed before. The sas port
adding/removing is delayed outside the disco_mutex. we can only do the
adding or removing once inside the disco_mutex.
Can we do all the event processing synchronised to the original event?
Actually bcast is a very special event, and what we do in revalidation
at one time is scanning all phy changes, which may include many bcast
events(especially before our first patchset), and the next
revalidations may have nothing to do.
So "do all the event processing synchronised to the original event" is
impossible actually. Maybe if the bcast can indicate which device
originated it, we will achieve this goal.
I mean that since libsas does disocovery/revalidation for all expander
PHYS for a single event, than all discovery/revalidation should be
synchronised with that same event. I don't mean that for a given
expander PHY which originated a broadcast event, the
revalidation/discovery for that PHY should be synchronised with that
same event. Like you said, I don't think it's possible.
On another point, one of the reasons to synchronise event processing was
so events are not lost and are processed in order. In principle, by
chaining these bcast events we lose that, since other PHY events may be
queued before we queue the new artificial bcast events.
But if you mean we shall do this device removing and rediscovering in
one revalidation if it is not a "flutter", I think we can wrap a new
function for sas_revalidate_domain(), such as:
while (need_to_revalidate_again)
need_to_revalidate_again = sas_revalidate_domain()
In this way the sas_port adding/removing is packed in one loop, we won't
have the annoyance of "duplicate filename" warning. What do you
think?
Something like that, where all the discovery/revalidation and related
device + port processing is done before we complete the revalidation
event processing. A single revalidation event may defer do device+port
processing multiple times.
