libfcoe's interface consists of create, destroy, enable,
disable and create_vn2vn. These are currently module
paramaters added durring the module initialization. A
concern arose that the module parameters were being added
with write permissions before the module had completed
initialization. The following code was added to each
sysfs store file.
* Make sure the module has been initialized, and is not about to be
* removed. Module parameter sysfs files are writable before the
* module_init function is called and after module_exit.
*/
if (THIS_MODULE->state != MODULE_STATE_LIVE)
goto out_nodev;
This check was called out as unhelpful as the module can
go dead at any time and therefore its state isn't a reliable
thing to look at as a sign of stability and initialization
completion. Also, that functional interfaces like these
should be added after module initialization.
This patch removes the unnecessary checks and hopes to
disprove the concern about initialization ordering.
Recent fcoe transport rework changes now require fcoe
transports to register with libfcoe before any operation
can take place. libfcoe may access some static variables
but nothing that could cause a problem. Once a fcoe transport
is registered, libfcoe is usable and any interface calls will
be functional.
