<zaitcev> I am taling about this: "if (disk->flags & GENHD_FL_UP) del_gendisk(disk);" <zaitcev> If del_gendisk() undoes add_disk() like viro just said, why is it conditional? <viro> huh? <viro> add_disk() sets the damn flag <zaitcev> So, I should not need to check ever <viro> so the above is "if I've called add_disk(), call gendisk()" <viro> which might be what you want, of course <viro> but usually you know if you'd done add_disk() on that puppy anyway
In ub, nobody upstream should ever see half-constructed disks before they were passed to add_disk. To that end, only add the struct lun to the list on the path of no return. With that fix in place, we do not need to test GENHD_FL_UP. Signed-off-by: Pete Zaitcev <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> --- Greg, this is something to merge after 2.6.17, please.
