commit e020ff611ba9be54e959e6b548038f8a020da1c9 upstream. The device link device's name was of the form: <supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-dev-name> This can cause name collision as reported here [1] as device names are not globally unique. Since device names have to be unique within the bus/class, add the bus/class name as a prefix to the device names used to construct the device link device name. So the devuce link device's name will be of the form: <supplier-bus-name>:<supplier-dev-name>--<consumer-bus-name>:<consumer-dev-name> [1] - https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20201229033440.32142-1-michael@walle.cc/ Fixes: 287905e68dd2 ("driver core: Expose device link details in sysfs") Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Reported-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Tested-by: Michael Walle <michael@walle.cc> Signed-off-by: Saravana Kannan <saravanak@google.com> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20210110175408.1465657-1-saravanak@google.com Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
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.
