Hi Sagi,

In addition to Greg's reply: a similar patch has been accepted upstream
for the SCSI sd driver more than a year ago. Only a single user ever
complained about inconsistencies across reboots. That user had not yet
heard about persistent device names but was happy to switch to
persistent device names after having learned about persistent device
names. See also commit f049cf1a7b67 ("scsi: sd: Rely on the driver core
for asynchronous probing").

Thanks,

Bart.
