Yikes, I think I see now why scsi eh is so bad: the entire host, not just the device is quiesced. I suppose now the question is how to issue the START STOP UNIT from sd_prep_fn()? I gather you can't just call scsi_execute_req() from there? Is there maybe a way to insert a START STOP UNIT request into the queue ahead of the current request being prepped? Can sd_prep_fn() be called concurrently on multiple cpus? Hrm.. what about TCQ? Would it be bad if the original request were queued ( to the drive ) before the START STOP UNIT command completed? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSijguAAoJEJrBOlT6nu75AlIH/3n1XFrWWjU2D209hwaBlRCu OHdAI40OUW0dqRrF7hyhH62X6SmDFG9pkZcCeZUNmSOEBtvkVjxJRv2VvpXpQL50 xXEiLCLukOYWG7krnVhD1BCrt9SfAjMsCpWmbC14m3epCWd9OQNFfU9vqU7mW18b 2NJPBukq+l8nzZtCl+8UMIQxH4RSkceJs3X7y4PhM65nN4kDMmJUABjJhHBZX30/ MQqu6pu2AW6Wf6SH0Sh1qIWfu45cIneuSDRP9qK5U/9902vhmGCLlt4zgbow8CQh muspp8A+bhcVQAJVdZvHz9gQMHS0dDRjLgBE23Yik0t+zBl0wvoFsaAG4BEi0lY= =6HCd -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
