We probably even should not. But we have to make sure it's not a dead one already Let the bdev deal with a gendisk deleted under its feet. Takes the info mutex to decide a race against backend closing. Signed-off-by: Daniel Stodden Signed-off-by: Jeremy Fitzhardinge Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe --- Reading git-diff-tree failed
