Is anyone implmenting (or has implemented) a ->eh_timed_out function? I see none in mainline kernel. I was looking at using it in an LLDD, but hit two problems, and have started to work on an alternate approach of cancelling (aborting or wtf you want to call it) a list of commands in the eh thread. The two problems I see with the hook are: It calls the driver in interrupt context, so the called function can't sleep. There is no queueing or list mechanism, so LLDD's that can only cancel one command at a time will have problem. -- Patrick Mansfield - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
