So created and attached synchronously at init. > If I can solve all of those, the reported problem may disappear. If the solution includes a state machine to prevent *future* additions, *or* it uses try_module_get() before allowing any new possible generic knobs (not sure if you are going to add some) I agree that this should work. FWIW, just one minor consideration, just recall that distributions are now using scsi_debug to do tons of testing both on fstests and blktests... So... they'd benefit from fixing these races as a backport with the least amount of changes as possible, and so if a fix is possible with the least amount of lines possible they can backport this fix so that tests don't run into so many false positives with tests. -- You may reply to this email to add a comment.
