From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxxx> If a SCSI device handler module is loaded after some SCSI devices have already been probed (e.g. via request_module() by dm-multipath), the "access_state" and "preferred_path" sysfs attributes remain invisible for these devices, although the handler is attached and live. The reason is that the visibility is only checked when the sysfs attribute group is first created. This results in an inconsistent user experience depending on the load order of SCSI low-level drivers vs. device handler modules.
Isn't this something that should be fixed in the sysfs code rather than in the SCSI core? If this issue affects SCSI I assume that it will also affect other sysfs users.
Thanks, Bart.
