[PATCH v3 0/4] Ensure that lun ids are contiguous

[Krzysztof Opasiak]

Dear list,

This series fix configfs interface for mass storage function.
According to mass storage specification[1]:

"Logical Unit Numbers on the device shall be numbered contiguously
 starting from LUN 0 to a maximum LUN of 15 (Fh)."

Currently configfs interface allows to create LUNs with
arbitrary ids what causes problems with some host side
mass storage drivers.

This patch extends configfs interface with unlocked version
of configfs_depend_item() which should be used only in configfs
callbacks. This allows to protect from
removing lun directory from the middle of id space.

Example:

as is:
$ mkdir mass_storage.name
$ mkdir lun.3
$ mkdir lun.5
$ rmdir lun.3

After this series:
$ mkdir mass_storage.name
$ mkdir lun.3
mkdir: cannot create directory 'lun.3': Invalid argument
$ mkdir lun.1
$ mkdir lun.2
$ rmdir lun.1
rmdir: failed to remove 'lun.1': Device or resource busy
$ rmdir lun.2
$ rmdir lun.1
