Signed-off-by: Xingui Yang <yangxingui@xxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes since v3: - Just manually clear the ex_phy's attached_sas_addr instead of calling sas_unregister_devs_sas_addr() and deleting the port. - Update commit information. Changes since v2: - Add a helper for calling sas_destruct_devices() and sas_destruct_ports(), and put the new call at the end of sas_probe_devices() based on John's suggestion. Changes since v1: - Simplify the process of getting ex_phy id based on Jason's suggestion. - Update commit information. --- drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h | 14 ++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h b/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h index 85948963fb97..7c0931ccea23 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h +++ b/drivers/scsi/libsas/sas_internal.h @@ -145,6 +145,20 @@ static inline void sas_fail_probe(struct domain_device *dev, const char *func, i func, dev->parent ?
