Babu,
Your main object is to protect scsi_dh_data across scsi_dh_activate() by
way of getting kref around scsi_dh_activate(), right ?
Wouldn't doing what Shyam suggested (doing kref_put() and put_device())
in scsi_activate() make it simpler and code still be readable ? (it
would make all the patches except 2/6 not needed).
Did you hit with any problems doing it that way ?
Also the snippet (in 2/6)
---------------
@@ -228,7 +228,8 @@ store_dh_state(struct device *dev, struc
* Activate a device handler
*/
if (scsi_dh->activate)
- err = scsi_dh->activate(sdev, NULL, NULL);
+ err = scsi_dh_activate(sdev->request_queue,
+ NULL, NULL);
else
err = 0;
}
------------------
can be made as a patch in itself.
Thanks for fixing the problem.
regards,
chandra
