Is there actually a limit of 1x host_sdev always?

I would have thought so, as the whole point of having a host device is
that you have a (virtual) device which simulates access to the host itself.
And as such has a 1:1 relationship to the HBA.

Sure, but I think that each call to scsi_get_host_dev() for the same host will give a new sdev each time, right?

We should protect against what is sensible and what is possible - not always the same :)

Thanks,
John
