[PATCH v7 8/8] scsi: core: Release SCSI devices synchronously

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All upstream scsi_device_put() calls happen from thread context. Hence
simplify scsi_device_put() by always calling the release function
synchronously. This patch prepares for constifying the SCSI host template
by removing an assignment that clears the module pointer in the SCSI host
template.

scsi_device_dev_release_usercontext() was introduced in 2006 via
commit 65110b216895 ("[SCSI] fix wrong context bugs in SCSI").
