v4.17 commit86b87cde0b("scsi: core: host template attribute groups") introduced explicit sysfs_create_groups() in scsi_sysfs_add_sdev() and sysfs_remove_groups() in __scsi_remove_device(), both for sdev_gendev, based on a new field const struct attribute_group **sdev_groups of struct scsi_host_template. Commit92c4b58b15("scsi: core: Register sysfs attributes earlier") removed above explicit (de)registration of scsi_device attribute groups. It also converted all scsi_device attributes and attribute_groups to end up in a new field const struct attribute_group *gendev_attr_groups[6] of struct scsi_device. However, that new field was not used anywhere. Surprisingly, this only caused missing LLDD specific scsi_device sysfs attributes. Whereas, scsi core attributes from scsi_sdev_attr_groups did continue to exist because of scsi_dev_type.groups. We separate scsi core attibutes from LLDD specific attributes. Hence, we keep the initializing assignment scsi_dev_type = { .groups = scsi_sdev_attr_groups, } as this takes care of core attributes. Without the separation, it would cause attribute double registration due to scsi_dev_type.groups and sdev_gendev.groups. Julian suggested to assign the sdev_groups pointer of the scsi_host_template directly to the groups pointer of sdev_gendev. This way we can delete the container scsi_device.gendev_attr_groups and the loop copying each entry from hostt->sdev_groups to sdev->gendev_attr_groups. Alternative approaches ruled out: Assigning gendev_attr_groups to sdev_dev has no visible effect. Assigning sdev->gendev_attr_groups to scsi_dev_type.groups caused scsi_device of all scsi host types to get LLDD specific attributes of the LLDD for which the last sdev alloc happened to occur, as that overwrote scsi_dev_type.groups, e.g. scsi_debug had zfcp-specific scsi_device attributes.

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.
