[PATCH V3 0/3] driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices

[PATCH V3 0/3] driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices

[Adrian Hunter]

Hi

There is an issue with the SCSI UFS driver when the optional
BOOT well-known LUN fails to probe, which is not a fatal error.
The issue is that the device and its "managed" device link do not
then get deleted.  The device because the device link has a
reference to it.  The device link because it can only be deleted
by device_del(), but device_add() was never called, so device_del()
never will be either.

Since V2, these patches fix the issue by amending device link removal to
accept removal of a link with an unregistered consumer device, as suggested
by Rafael.


Changes in V3:

    driver core: Prevent warning when removing a device link from unregistered consumer
	New patch split from "driver core: Add ability to delete device
	links of unregistered devices" except first chunk from that patch
	dropped as unnecessary

    driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices
	Move warning fix to separate patch.


Changes in V2:

    Take approach suggested by Rafael

[PATCH V3 1/3] driver core: Prevent warning when removing a device link from unregistered consumer

[Adrian Hunter]

sysfs_remove_link() causes a warning if the parent directory does not
exist. That can happen if the device link consumer has not been registered.
So do not attempt sysfs_remove_link() in that case.

[PATCH V3 2/3] driver core: Add ability to delete device links of unregistered devices

[Adrian Hunter]

Managed device links are deleted by device_del(). However it is possible to
add a device link to a consumer before device_add(), and then discover an
error prevents the device from being used. In that case normally references
to the device would be dropped and the device would be deleted. However the
device link holds a reference to the device, so the device link and device
remain indefinitely (unless the supplier is deleted).

Amend device link removal to accept removal of a link with an
unregistered consumer device.

[PATCH V3 3/3] scsi: ufshcd: Fix device links when BOOT WLUN fails to probe

[Adrian Hunter]

If a LUN fails to probe (e.g. absent BOOT WLUN), the device will not have
been registered but can still have a device link holding a reference to the
device. The unwanted device link will prevent runtime suspend indefinitely,
and cause some warnings if the supplier is ever deleted (e.g. by unbinding
the UFS host controller). Fix by explicitly deleting the device link when
SCSI destroys the SCSI device.

No Cc: stable for this?  Why not?

AFAICS that would be

This patch by itself doesn't fix the above one, so the tag doesn't
seem to be suitable here.

Frankly, I would consider folding it into the third patch in the
series in which case please feel free to add

to the resulting combo patch.
