From a144c5ae0956fb262e6c82624c82b1110a451437 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Brian King Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 11:10:31 -0500 Subject: [SCSI] scsi: Add allow_restart sysfs class attribute This is a resend of a patch I generated in response to an email sent by Ruben Faelens . His original email to linux-scsi requested a method in which he could spin down a scsi disk when not in use and have the kernel automatically spin it back up when an I/O was generated to the disk. The infrastructure to automatically spin a disk up has been in the scsi error handler for some time now, but it is not enabled by default. This patch adds an sd sysfs attribute which allows userspace to enable this behavior.
