Re: [RFC] enclosure: fix sysfs symlinks creation when using multipath
On 02/07/2017 08:08 AM, Maurizio Lombardi wrote: With multipath, it may happen that the same device is passed to enclosure_add_device() multiple times and that the enclosure_add_links() function fails to create the symlinks because the device's sysfs directory entry is still NULL. In this case, the links will never be created because all the subsequent calls to enclosure_add_device() will immediately fail with EEXIST. This patch modifies the code so the driver will detect this condition and will retry to create the symlinks when enclosure_add_device() is called.
