[Linux-diag-devel] device has no parent?

[Martin H. <mo...@wi...>]

Hi,

This could well be an in-kernel bug.  I haven't looked in the kernel
yet.

I've opened a scsi disk device,
/sys/devices/pci0000:20/0000:20:01.1/host1/1:0:2:0, with
sysfs_open_device().  I get a valid pointer back and I can view
dev->name and other fields.  The ->parent pointer is NULL though.

Any idea why?  Obviously it does have a parent, which is the PCI card at
0000:20:01.1.  Why doesn't this show up as ->parent?

Please CC, I'm not on the linux-diag list.
thanks
mh
