Otherwise an underlying device's teardown (e.g. SCSI) may race with the DM ioctl or persistent reservation and result in dereferencing driver memory that gets freed when the underlying device's final blkdev_put() occurs. bdgrab() only increases the refcount for the block_device's inode to ensure the block_device struct itself will not be freed, but does not guarantee the block_device will remain associated with the gendisk or its storage.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
