A long time ago the unfortunate decision was taken to add a self-
deletion attribute to the sysfs SCSI device directory. That decision
was unfortunate because self-deletion is really tricky. We can't drop
that attribute because widely used user space software depends on it,
namely the rescan-scsi-bus.sh script. Hence this patch that avoids
that writing into that attribute triggers a deadlock. See also commit
7973cbd9fbd9 ("[PATCH] add sysfs attributes to scan and delete
scsi_devices").Acked-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Thanks. -- tejun
