[PATCH 00/15] Fix issue with KOBJ_ADD uevent versus disk attributes

[Fam Zheng]

This is an attempt to fix the issue that some disks' sysfs attributes are not
ready at the time its KOBJ_ADD event is sent.

The symptom is during device hotplug, udev may fail to find certain attributes,
such as serial or wwn, of the disk. As a result the /dev/disk/by-id entries are
not created.

The cause is device_add_disk emits the uevent before returning, and the callers
have to create sysfs entries after that.

The fix here is to pass attr_groups from callers to device_add_disk, so it can
be added before KOBJ_ADD.

Also add basic error handling around device_add_disk code, (or add FIXME
comment where work is left).

Fam Zheng (15):
  disk: Drop add_disk in favor of device_add_disk
  genhd: Return error from register_disk()
  genhd: Return error from blk_register_region
  block: Return error from blk_integrity_add
  genhd: Return error from disk_{add,alloc}_events
  genhd: Add return code to device_add_disk
  genhd: Add attribute group parameter to device_add_disk
  nvme: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  virtio-blk: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  mtd: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  zram: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  mtip: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  aoeblk: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  axonram: Pass attribute group to device_add_disk
  block: Add FIXME comment to handle device_add_disk error
