Rafael/Greg,
I'm not very familiar with the #0 and #2 calls stacks. But poking
around a bit, they are NOT due to the device-link-device. But the new
stuff is the above two lines that are deleting the device-link-device
(that's used to expose device link details in sysfs) when the device
link is deleted.
Kicking off a workqueue to break this cycle is easy, but the problem
is that if I queue a work to delete the device, then the sysfs folder
won't get removed immediately. And if the same link is created again
before the work is completed, then there'll be a sysfs name collision
and warning.
So, I'm kinda stuck here. Open to suggestions. Hoping you'll have
better ideas for breaking the cycle. Or point out how I'm
misunderstanding the cycle here.
