From e09b457bdb7e8d23fc54dcef0930ac697d8de895 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Sat, 13 Nov 2010 11:55:17 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] block: simplify holder symlink handling Code to manage symlinks in /sys/block/*/{holders|slaves} are overly complex with multiple holder considerations, redundant extra references to all involved kobjects, unused generic kobject holder support and unnecessary mixup with bd_claim/release functionalities. Strip it down to what's necessary (single gendisk holder) and make it use a separate interface. This is a step for cleaning up bd_claim/release. This patch makes dm-table slightly more complex but it will be simplified again with further changes.
