Subject: [PATCH v9 23/29] scsi-multipath: add delayed disk removal support
Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2026 20:47:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261108204733.557995-24-john.garry@linux.dev> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261108204733.557995-1-john.garry@linux.dev>
Add support in core code for delayed disk removal support. In this, the
callback calls into the scsi_driver to do the necessary removal work.
The scsi_disk driver (sd) must ensure that the scsi_mpath_device does not
go away while the delayed removal work is active, i.e. it must keep a
reference.
No reference to the scsi_disk multipath structures are kept outside that
driver, so that driver needs to provide a scsi_driver.mpath_remove_head
callback to do the necessary work.
