3.16.39-rc1 review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Dan Williams <dan.j.williams@xxxxxxxxx>
commit df08c32ce3be5be138c1dbfcba203314a3a7cd6f upstream.
The name for a bdi of a gendisk is derived from the gendisk's devt.
However, since the gendisk is destroyed before the bdi it leaves a
window where a new gendisk could dynamically reuse the same devt while a
bdi with the same name is still live. Arrange for the bdi to hold a
reference against its "owner" disk device while it is registered.
Otherwise we can hit sysfs duplicate name collisions like the following:
