From 49731baa41df404c2c3f44555869ab387363af43 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tejun Heo Date: Fri, 14 Jan 2011 18:43:57 +0100 Subject: block: restore multiple bd_link_disk_holder() support Commit e09b457b (block: simplify holder symlink handling) incorrectly assumed that there is only one link at maximum. dm may use multiple links and expects block layer to track reference count for each link, which is different from and unrelated to the exclusive device holder identified by @holder when the device is opened. Remove the single holder assumption and automatic removal of the link and revive the per-link reference count tracking. The code essentially behaves the same as before commit e09b457b sans the unnecessary kobject reference count dancing. While at it, note that this facility should not be used by anyone else than the current ones. Sysfs symlinks shouldn't be abused like this and the whole thing doesn't belong in the block layer at all.
