Subject: scsi: hpsa: cleanup sas_phy structures in sysfs when unloading
From: Martin Wilck <mwilck@xxxxxxx>
[ Upstream commit 55ca38b4255bb336c2d35990bdb2b368e19b435a ]
I am resubmitting this patch on behalf of Martin Wilck with his
permission.
The original patch can be found here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg102083.html
This patch did not help until Hannes's
commit 9441284fbc39 ("scsi-fixup-kernel-warning-during-rmmod")
was applied to the kernel.
--------------------------------------
Original patch description from Martin:
--------------------------------------
When the hpsa module is unloaded using rmmod, dangling
symlinks remain under /sys/class/sas_phy. Fix this by
calling sas_phy_delete() rather than sas_phy_free (which,
according to comments, should not be called for PHYs that
have been set up successfully, anyway).
