Subject: Re: [PATCH 6/9] driver core: async device shutdown infrastructure
Date: Thu, 29 Oct 2026 09:39:06 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <9huzpkws977p.fsf@tarunix.c.googlers.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261020164435.80499-7-djeffery@redhat.com>
Incase, a device was never probed with a driver, and still part of kset
list, then it does not have shutdown call, so shutdown_one_device is
just no-op. In case this device is a child of a device marked async,
parent device keep on waiting on this device. do you think we should
optimize this case by something like this?
