* [SCSI] fix scsi_wait_scanJames Bottomley2012-05-301-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit c751085943362143f84346d274e0011419c84202 Author: Rafael J. Wysocki <rjw@sisk.pl> Date: Sun Apr 12 20:06:56 2009 +0200 PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resume Broke the scsi_wait_scan module in 2.6.30. Apparently debian still uses it so fix it and backport to stable before removing it in 3.6. The breakage is caused because the function template in include/scsi/scsi_scan.h is defined to be a nop unless SCSI is built in. That means that in the modular case (which is every distro), the scsi_wait_scan module does a simple async_synchronize_full() instead of waiting for scans.

* driver synchronization: make scsi_wait_scan more advancedArjan van de Ven2009-04-211-0/+11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is currently only one way for userspace to say "wait for my storage device to get ready for the modules I just loaded": to load the scsi_wait_scan module. Expectations of userspace are that once this module is loaded, all the (storage) devices for which the drivers were loaded before the module load are present. Now, there are some issues with the implementation, and the async stuff got caught in the middle of this: The existing code only waits for the scsy async probing to finish, but it did not take into account at all that probing might not have begun yet. (Russell ran into this problem on his computer and the fix works for him) This patch fixes this more thoroughly than the previous "fix", which had some bad side effects (namely, for kernel code that wanted to wait for the scsi scan it would also do an async sync, which would deadlock if you did it from async context already.. there's a report about that on lkml): The patch makes the module first wait for all device driver probes, and then it will wait for the scsi parallel scan to finish.

* PM/Hibernate: Wait for SCSI devices scan to complete during resumeRafael J. Wysocki2009-04-131-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race between resume from hibernation and the asynchronous scanning of SCSI devices and to prevent it from happening we need to call scsi_complete_async_scans() during resume from hibernation. In addition, if the resume from hibernation is userland-driven, it's better to wait for all device probes in the kernel to complete before attempting to open the resume device.

* [SCSI] Add ability to scan scsi busses asynchronouslyMatthew Wilcox2006-10-111-0/+31
Since it often takes around 20-30 seconds to scan a scsi bus, it's highly advantageous to do this in parallel with other things. The bulk of this patch is ensuring that devices don't change numbering, and that all devices are discovered prior to trying to start init. For those who build SCSI as modules, there's a new scsi_wait_scan module that will ensure all bus scans are finished. This patch only handles drivers which call scsi_scan_host. Fibre Channel, SAS, SATA, USB and Firewire all need additional work. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@wil.cx> Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@SteelEye.com>
