Please move that allocation outside the critical section and also the code for initializing *pg. What's not clear to me is why no uniqueness check is performed before invoking list_add() ? Does that mean that information for the same port group ID can end up multiple times in the port_group_list ? Such a uniqueness check can only be performed if a storage array identification is available so patches 07 and 08 may have to be swapped.
