Might be interesting as well. Marc showed me a `dmesg` snipped earlier
from when the bind fails:

The bind should happend around here somewhere I think.

But we don't even see the `sg_alloc: dev=...` message that is logged in
`sg_alloc()`. And between the change above and the call to `sg_alloc()`,
there is only the character device allocation; and if that failed, it
would print an error. So either the bind is never even tried, or the new
`blk_get_queue()` fails to get a reference.
Which is odd, since the only way that would happen is, if the queue
was marked dying; but we see that the stack is using it for LUN probing
in `sd`.

Yes, if scsi_device_get() works fine, but blk_get_queue() has problems,
it seems to me that sg_add_device() can be called with scsi_device queue
mark dying? This is odd, but I'm not sure if it's the case.

Thanks,
Kuai

This change (bisected) triggers a regression in our KVM on s390x CI. The
symptom is that a “scsi_debug device” does not bind to the scsi_generic
driver. On s390x you can reproduce the problem as follows (I have not
tested on x86):

With this patch applied:

$ sudo modprobe scsi_debug

One more thing maybe worth mentioning: in the kernel configuration we
use in the CI we have `sg` built-in. I guess most have it built as
module.

$ # Get the 'scsi_host,channel,target_number,LUN' tuple for the scsi_debug device
$ lsscsi |grep scsi_debug |awk '{ print $1 }'
[0:0:0:0]
$ sudo stat /sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/scsi_generic
stat: cannot statx '/sys/bus/scsi/devices/0:0:0:0/scsi_generic': No such file or directory


Patch reverted:

$ sudo modprobe scsi_debug
$ lsscsi |grep scsi_debug |awk '{ print $1 }'

That's all I got from looking at it earlier, so far.
