They should be replaced with BUG_ON() or removed.

Take a look at /sys/block/ and you'll see - when we register disks, we mangle the disk names that contain slashes (e.g. cciss/c0d0) replacing them with '!' in corresponding sysfs names. So name_to_dev_t() should mangle the name in the same way before looking for it in /sys/block. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
