I've put the asynchronous scsi scanning patches that I've been posting for a while into their own git tree, and split them in a way that I hope makes sense. Since git.kernel.org is experiencing some trouble right now, it's all available here: http://git.parisc-linux.org/?p=linux-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=scsi-async-scan It started as a clone of scsi-misc. You can clone this tree via git-fetch git://git.parisc-linux.org/git/linux-2.6.git \ scsi-async-scan:scsi-async-scan I've had a bug report about the aic94xx, but: <jejb> djwong, that can result because of the way libsas handles errors <jejb> I have a patch for that I should post So I'm gleefully ignoring that problem for the moment. Here's the commits currently in the tree: commit 9b039f5f7d3ac3a3f1c97f2ef0d8b13690dcab12 Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 15 18:19:29 2006 -0500 [SCSI] Convert libata to use scsi_scan_host This is a very rough conversion; each of the scsi_host_templates should be converted to add the new methods, but this is a good initial hack to check the concept works Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> commit b83c4572a79bb143d1d71c06a9765486a5daeff0 Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 15 18:17:41 2006 -0500 [SCSI] Convert aic94xx to use scsi_scan_host Split up the init functions into the new scan_start and scan_finished methods Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> commit 114cf7c818ee1ba9104dbf0574c3b39e4f3ea5ef Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 15 18:16:52 2006 -0500 [SCSI] Convert qla2xxx to use scsi_scan_host Split up the init functions into the new scan_start and scan_finished methods Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> commit e7080cc397dc7f325c1d5154846f5bf071d5678c Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 15 18:16:10 2006 -0500 [SCSI] Convert lpfc to use scsi_scan_host Split up the init functions into the new scan_start and scan_finished methods Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> commit 59d1b29d6560c7b561116aa1556ffb829dbd3cff Author: Matthew Wilcox <willy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed Nov 15 18:13:34 2006 -0500 [SCSI] Make scsi_scan_host work for drivers which find their own targets If a driver can find its own targets, it can now fill in scan_finished and (optionally) scan_start in the scsi_host_template. Then, when it calls scsi_scan_host(), it will be called back (from a thread if asynchronous discovery is enabled), first to start the scan, and then at intervals to check if the scan is completed. Also make scsi_prep_async_scan and scsi_finish_async_scan static.

Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> commit 9f752d4f48dbfe547cb7fe1a0e32dbd36a979137 Author: Matthew Wilcox <matthew@xxxxxx> Date: Sun Oct 22 10:40:47 2006 -0600 Add Kconfig option for asynchronous SCSI scanning To this point, the user has to add a kernel command line parameter to get asynchronous SCSI scanning. Now they can select the default at compile time and still override it at boot time if they need to.
