Subject: [PATCH] scsi: ch: Remove the minor from ch_index_idr after device_destroy()
Date: Mon,  9 Nov 2026 11:06:51 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261109160651.986356-1-lcy8047@gmail.com> (raw)

ch_remove() removes the minor from ch_index_idr before device_destroy()
removes the "sch<N>" device. A changer probed in between can get the
same minor, and its device_create() fails:

  sysfs: cannot create duplicate filename '/class/scsi_changer/sch0'
  ...
  ch 1:0:0:0: ch0: device_create failed

The new changer is then not attached.

Replace the IDR entry with NULL instead, so that ch_open() still fails
with -ENXIO for the changer being removed, and remove the minor after
device_destroy().

Fixes: da707c54c342 ("[SCSI] ch: fix device minor number management bug")

Reproduced in QEMU (x86_64) with scsi_debug (ptype=8, add_host=2),
which gives two changers on two hosts. Two threads, one per host,
delete the changer through sysfs and rescan the host in a loop for 20
seconds. Without this patch, device_create() failed 992 to 1151 times
per run in three runs. With it, it never failed in two runs, and
/dev/sch0 can still be opened before and after a delete and rescan.
