Hi
I'm loading the ufs-qcom driver as a module but am not seeing the /dev/sda* device nodes.
Looks like it's not being created.

I find the sda nodes in other paths being enumerated though:

/ # find /sys -name sda
/sys/kernel/debug/block/sda
/sys/class/block/sda
/sys/devices/platform/<...>/<xxx>.ufshc/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda
/sys/block/sda

All Luns are detected and I see sda is detected and prints for all the Luns as below -:
sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] .... ....-byte logical blocks:

... so on ...

But if I link it statically instead of a module, it works fine. All device nodes are created.

I'm trying to figure out where/how in SCSI does it create these device nodes - /dev/sd<a/b/c/d> ?

That's from (systemd-)udevd user space based on uevents from the kernel.

I've looked into sd.c but I couldn't figure out the exact place yet.

Yeah, based on the SCSI device probe and add lun, the high level driver sd would emit udev events for block devices.
