Hi all, when shutting down an FCoE target system one is greeted with a flood of kernel warnings about
sysfs group ffffffff81eff0e0 not found for kobject 'XXX' Reason here is that the fcoe driver tries to remove devices from a workqueue, but the NETDEV_UNREGISTER notification expects any calls to be synchronous as it will tear down the device once the notifications return. With this patch device removals are done synchronously, so the correct ordering is respected and the warnings are gone. As usual, comments and reviews are welcome. Hannes Reinecke (3): fcoe: move fcoe_interface_remove() out of fcoe_interface_cleanup() fcoe: separate out fcoe_vport_remove() fcoe: open-code fcoe_destroy_work() for NETDEV_UNREGISTER drivers/scsi/fcoe/fcoe.c | 81 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------ 1 file changed, 51 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) -- 1.8.5.6
