Hi James,

Thanks for your patch! I got a chance to test your patch today and it works.

Thanks,

Hi James,

Our test teams still see lots of these errors in error log when dlpar removing
the adapter in dual configuration. So I re-submit the patch.

OK so in this case you have two struct devices for one bay (one for each
path).  The links are screwed up because a bay only points at one device
(although each device points to an enclosure).

We have a check, so the enclosure backlink points to the first device it
encountered.

The scope for cockups in this situation is huge (like if the device the
enclosure points to gets removed

This doesn't look right: for this to work it means you have to have a
dev with a kernfs link but a cdev without one.  We probably still need
to remove the dangling dev link.

Does this work?  It should remove either link if they exist.

James
