Hi Martin, For certain user space software, e.g. udev, it is important that sysfs attributes are registered before the KOBJ_ADD uevent is emitted. Hence this patch series that removes the device_create_file() and sysfs_create_groups() calls from the SCSI core. Please consider this patch series for kernel v5.16. Thanks, Bart. Changes compared to v3: - Updated Acked-by / Reviewed-by tags. - In the zfcp driver, restored the zfcp_sysfs_ prefix. - Fixed a bug in the patch for the qla2xxx driver. Changes compared to v2: - Use the ATTRIBUTE_GROUPS() macro where appropriate. Changes compared to v1: - Switched from struct attribute ** to struct attribute_group **. - Added comments that explain how the size of the new arrays have been chosen. - Cleaned up the code in the qla2xxx driver that modifies a struct device_attribute array by introducing an .is_visible() callback. - Split this patch series into one patch per driver.
