Any reason for this change?

Hi, Jason
The original comment of the code had a syntax problem and couldn't compile,
I fixed it here

This is how it looked before your patch:

/*
   * This should prevent the device from being used, allowing drivers to
   * recover.  You may need to grab appropriate locks to flush.
   */

I see no problem here.

Yes, you are right. I made a mistake here, I will fix it

Nice but the bigger problem is not the mistake - it is the posting of
untested code. It might be an ok thing to do - as long as you make it
super abundantrly clear that this is what it is, and explain why
you are posting it now and not after testing.


In fact, I compiled and tested locally. I just looked it up and it might be that I was missing a “git add” action which caused the problem. Before I post the patch in future, I will find a clean kernel source and apply my patch for testing instead of on the branch where the code is modified, so as to avoid this kind of problem from happening again. Very sorry for this problem, I will be careful and pay attention to it later


Thanks
