The bug still happens with that patch applied and CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC
enabled. In the marked line, class_dev->class->name is NULL and this causes
the oops in make_class_name().
static void remove_deprecated_class_device_links(struct class_device *class_dev)
{
char *class_name;
if (!class_dev->dev)
return;
===>> class_name = make_class_name(class_dev->class->name, &class_dev->kobj);
if (class_name)
sysfs_remove_link(&class_dev->dev->kobj, class_name);
kfree(class_name);
}
