mainlining shenanigans
dfb2e6f46b
This patch cleans up a lot of warnings when unloading the driver.
A current example of the stack trace starts with:
[ 142.570715] sysfs group 'power' not found for kobject 'port-5:0'
There can be hundreds of these messages during a driver unload.
I am resubmitting this patch on behalf of Martin Wilck with his
permission.
His original patch can be found here:
https://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg102085.html
This patch did not help until Hannes's
commit 9441284fbc39 ("scsi-fixup-kernel-warning-during-rmmod")
was applied to the kernel.

Original patch description:
---------------------------
Unloading the hpsa driver causes warnings
[ 1063.793652] WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 4850 at ../fs/sysfs/group.c:237 device_del+0x54/0x240()
[ 1063.793659] sysfs group ffffffff81cf21a0 not found for kobject 'port-2:0'
with two different stacks:
1)
[ 1063.793774] [<ffffffff81448af4>] device_del+0x54/0x240
[ 1063.793780] [<ffffffff8145178a>] transport_remove_classdev+0x4a/0x60
[ 1063.793784] [<ffffffff81451216>] attribute_container_device_trigger+0xa6/0xb0
[ 1063.793802] [<ffffffffa0105d46>] sas_port_delete+0x126/0x160 [scsi_transport_sas]
[ 1063.793819] [<ffffffffa036ebcc>] hpsa_free_sas_port+0x3c/0x70 [hpsa]
2)
[ 1063.797103] [<ffffffff81448af4>] device_del+0x54/0x240
[ 1063.797118] [<ffffffffa0105d4e>] sas_port_delete+0x12e/0x160 [scsi_transport_sas]
[ 1063.797134] [<ffffffffa036ebcc>] hpsa_free_sas_port+0x3c/0x70 [hpsa]
This is caused by the fact that host device hostX is deleted before the
SAS transport devices hostX/port-a:b.
This patch fixes this by reverting the order of device deletions.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
