works like a scsi host driver that does its own scanning via
scsi_add_device (maybe similar to scsi drivers that are raid cards).
Like other host drivers it does not take a reference to the device when
it is added and relies on scsi-ml to handle all that for it before doing
operations like queuecommand.

The leak is if you removed the scsi_device via the scsi ml sysfs
interface then there is no way to completely unlink the lio port because
if scsi_device_lookup fails we return from the function and do not do
not release our refcount on the tl_tpg_port_count.

Hi Mike,

Does this mean that you think that this patch is the right way to address the reported issue?

Thanks,

Bart.
