From 10d3bd09a3c25df114f74f7f86e1b58d070bef32 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Mikulas Patocka Date: Tue, 6 Jan 2009 03:04:58 +0000 Subject: dm: consolidate target deregistration error handling Change dm_unregister_target to return void and use BUG() for error reporting. dm_unregister_target can only fail because of programming bug in the target driver. It can't fail because of user's behavior or disk errors. This patch changes unregister_target to return void and use BUG if someone tries to unregister non-registered target or unregister target that is in use. This patch removes code duplication (testing of error codes in all dm targets) and reports bugs in just one place, in dm_unregister_target. In some target drivers, these return codes were ignored, which could lead to a situation where bugs could be missed.

Deadlock has been reported in RHEL5 when sending a uevent was blocked waiting for the queued I/O to be processed. Use scheduled_work() for the asynchronous uevents instead.
