Because of the peculiar way that md devices are created (automatically
when the device node is opened), a new device can be created and
registered immediately after the
blk_unregister_region(disk_devt(disk), disk->minors);
call in del_gendisk().
Therefore it is important that all visible artifacts of the previous
device are removed before this call. In particular, the 'bdi'.
Since:
commit c4db59d31e39ea067c32163ac961e9c80198fd37
Author: Christoph Hellwig <h...@lst.de>
fs: don't reassign dirty inodes to default_backing_dev_info
moved the
device_unregister(bdi->dev);
call from bdi_unregister() to bdi_destroy() it has been quite easy to
lose a race and have a new (e.g.) "md127" be created after the
blk_unregister_region() call and before bdi_destroy() is ultimately
called by the final 'put_disk', which must come after del_gendisk().
The new device finds that the bdi name is already registered in sysfs
and complains
> [ 9627.630029] WARNING: CPU: 18 PID: 3330 at fs/sysfs/dir.c:31
> sysfs_warn_dup+0x5a/0x70()
> [ 9627.630032] sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename
> '/devices/virtual/bdi/9:127'
We can fix this by moving the bdi_destroy() call out of
blk_release_queue() (which can happen very late when a refcount
reaches zero) and into blk_cleanup_queue() - which happens exactly when the md
device driver calls it.
Then it is only necessary for md to call blk_cleanup_queue() before
del_gendisk(). As loop.c devices are also created on demand by
opening the device node, we make the same change there.

Hi Jens,
if you could check this and forward on to Linus I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
NeilBrown
