From e120dcb6b2a11840b08f0fc0d2e90256b7b6e842 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Calvin Owens Date: Fri, 13 May 2016 13:28:21 -0700 Subject: ses: Fix racy cleanup of /sys in remove_dev() Currently we free the resources backing the enclosure device before we call device_unregister(). This is racy: during rmmod of low-level SCSI drivers that hook into enclosure, we end up with a small window of time during which writing to /sys can OOPS.

The driver core holds a reference over ->remove_dev(), so AFAICT this is safe. Signed-off-by: Calvin Owens Reviewed-by: James Bottomley Signed-off-by: Martin K.
