Avoid that the sd driver registers a BDI device with a name that is still in use. This patch avoids that the following warning gets triggered: WARNING: CPU: 7 PID: 203 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x68/0x80() sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/8:32' Workqueue: events_unbound async_run_entry_fn Call Trace: [<ffffffff814ff5a4>] dump_stack+0x4c/0x65 [<ffffffff810746ba>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8a/0xc0 [<ffffffff81074736>] warn_slowpath_fmt+0x46/0x50 [<ffffffff81237ca8>] sysfs_warn_dup+0x68/0x80 [<ffffffff81237d8e>] sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x7e/0x90 [<ffffffff81291f58>] kobject_add_internal+0xa8/0x320 [<ffffffff812923a0>] kobject_add+0x60/0xb0 [<ffffffff8138c937>] device_add+0x107/0x5e0 [<ffffffff8138d018>] device_create_groups_vargs+0xd8/0x100 [<ffffffff8138d05c>] device_create_vargs+0x1c/0x20 [<ffffffff8117f233>] bdi_register+0x63/0x2a0 [<ffffffff8117f497>] bdi_register_dev+0x27/0x30 [<ffffffff81281549>] add_disk+0x1a9/0x4e0 [<ffffffffa00c5739>] sd_probe_async+0x119/0x1d0 [sd_mod] [<ffffffff8109a81a>] async_run_entry_fn+0x4a/0x140 [<ffffffff81091078>] process_one_work+0x1d8/0x7c0 [<ffffffff81091774>] worker_thread+0x114/0x460 [<ffffffff81097878>] kthread+0xf8/0x110 [<ffffffff8150801f>] ret_from_fork+0x3f/0x70 Signed-off-by: Bart Van Assche <bart.vanassche@xxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: Christoph Hellwig <hch@xxxxxx> Cc: Hannes Reinecke <hare@xxxxxxx> Cc: <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++- 1 file changed, 29 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c index 2b642b1..567f2a0 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c @@ -1272,9 +1272,26 @@ int scsi_sysfs_add_sdev(struct scsi_device *sdev) return error; } +static int scsi_return_dev(struct device *dev, void *data) +{ + struct device **childp = data; + + *childp = dev; + return 0; +} + +/* Caller must call put_device() if this function does not return NULL. */ +static struct device *scsi_get_child_dev(struct device *dev) +{ + struct device *child = NULL; + + device_for_each_child(dev, &child, scsi_return_dev); + return get_device(child); +} + void __scsi_remove_device(struct scsi_device *sdev) { - struct device *dev = &sdev->sdev_gendev; + struct device *dev = &sdev->sdev_gendev, *sdkp = NULL; /* * This cleanup path is not reentrant and while it is impossible @@ -1289,6 +1306,7 @@ void __scsi_remove_device(struct scsi_device *sdev) return; bsg_unregister_queue(sdev->request_queue); + sdkp = scsi_get_child_dev(dev); device_unregister(&sdev->sdev_dev); transport_remove_device(dev); scsi_dh_remove_device(sdev); @@ -1305,6 +1323,16 @@ void __scsi_remove_device(struct scsi_device *sdev) blk_cleanup_queue(sdev->request_queue); cancel_work_sync(&sdev->requeue_work); + /* + * blk_cleanup_queue() unregisters the BDI device.
