scsi, block: fix duplicate bdi name registration crashes
Warnings of the following form occur because scsi reuses a devt number while the block layer still has it referenced as the name of the bdi [1]: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 93 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/devices/virtual/bdi/8:192' [..] Call Trace: dump_stack+0x86/0xc3 __warn+0xcb/0xf0 warn_slowpath_fmt+0x5f/0x80 ? kernfs_path_from_node+0x4f/0x60 sysfs_warn_dup+0x62/0x80 sysfs_create_dir_ns+0x77/0x90 kobject_add_internal+0xb2/0x350 kobject_add+0x75/0xd0 device_add+0x15a/0x650 device_create_groups_vargs+0xe0/0xf0 device_create_vargs+0x1c/0x20 bdi_register+0x90/0x240 ? lockdep_init_map+0x57/0x200 bdi_register_owner+0x36/0x60 device_add_disk+0x1bb/0x4e0 ? __pm_runtime_use_autosuspend+0x5c/0x70 sd_probe_async+0x10d/0x1c0 async_run_entry_fn+0x39/0x170 This is a brute-force fix to pass the devt release information from sd_probe() to the locations where we register the bdi, device_add_disk(), and unregister the bdi, blk_cleanup_queue(). Thanks to Omar for the quick reproducer script [2]. This patch survives where an unmodified kernel fails in a few seconds.
