As promised in a previous thread: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-scsi&m=113321277408600&w=2 The midlayer today allows for calls to the eh handlers via sg to occur while i/o continues to be sent to the drive run abated. This patch ensures that i/o is stopped while an eh handler is being processed. It adds a new flag, set by the async reset callers, which augments the host-in-reset checks and stops i/o. The async reset callers are already synchronized to hold off until the error thread is no longer running. There are 2 parts to this patch: - the patch to the midlayer to stop i/o while resetting - a patch to the lpfc driver which removes the barrier the driver had implemented in the past. -- james s - : 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
