Missing driver-specific sysfs attributes of scsi_device [was: Re: [PATCH v4 00/46] Register SCSI sysfs attributes earlier]

Hi Bart, hi Martin,

since Friday 2021-10-22 our CI reports errors with linux-next. It complains about missing zfcp-lun resources (although that's a follow-on error). Machines that have their root-fs on zfcp-attached SCSI disk(s) are stuck in boot. Looking at user visible effects, I see zfcp-specific sysfs attributes of scsi_device missing:

$ lszfcp -D
/usr/sbin/lszfcp: line 390: /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.1780/host0/rport-0:0-0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:1089224725//hba_id: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/lszfcp: line 391: /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.1780/host0/rport-0:0-0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:1089224725//wwpn: No such file or directory /usr/sbin/lszfcp: line 392: /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/zfcp/0.0.1780/host0/rport-0:0-0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:1089224725//fcp_lun: No such file or directory

That made me think of this patch series. It also happened so that Martin applied the series to 5.16/scsi-queue on 2021-10-21. Linux-next merged it on 2021-10-22:

So this seems to match with the occurrence of problems for us.

I wonder if any of the other LLDDs see similar problems. I left those LLDD patches in the list below, that also were migrated from sdev_attrs to sdev_groups.

Guess it would be good to fix this before the v5.16 merge window opens (2021-11-08 after predicted v5.15 release? [http://phb-crystal-ball.org/]) so the error does not land in Linus' tree (which our CI also tests).

Not sure if I'll find time to dig deeper.

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,

Applied to 5.16/scsi-queue, thanks!
