How does this actually grab a reference to the host?
Good catch -- I should have noticed that.
I will resubmit the patch.
I'll wait to see what you produce, but I don't think, using a separate
idr array, you can close the race window between lookup and get. One of
the nice things about using the cdev iterator is that the get is part of
the lookup process.
Hmm. Should be possible if you free up the IDR in scsi_remove_host(),
just after setting the state to SHOST_DEL.
Cheers,
Hannes
