Subject: [PATCH] virtio_blk: fix race at module removal
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:12:14 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1414080703-4547-1-git-send-email-mst@redhat.com> (raw)
If a device appears while module is being removed,
driver will get a callback after we've given up
on the major number.
In theory this means this major number can get reused
by something else, resulting in a conflict.
To fix, cleanup in reverse order of initialization.
