[SCSI] sd: Fix refcounting
Currently the driver takes a reference only for requests coming by way of the gendisk, not for requests coming by way of the struct device or struct scsi_device. Such requests can arrive in the rescan, flush, and shutdown pathways. The patch also makes the scsi_disk keep a reference to the underlying scsi_device, and it erases the scsi_device's pointer to the scsi_disk when the scsi_device is removed (since the pointer should no longer be used). This resolves Bugzilla entry #5237. Signed-off-by: Alan Stern <stern@rowland.harvard.edu> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
