Hi, below is a patch introducing device recovery, trying to prevent i/o errors when a DID_NO_CONNECT or SOFT_ERROR does happen. The patch still needs quite some work: 1.) I still didn't figure out what is the best place to run sdev->deh.ehandler = kthread_run(scsi_device_error_handler, ...) 2.) As I see it, its not a good idea to run spi_schedule_dv_device() in scsi_error.c, since spi_schedule_dv_device() is in scsi_transport_spi.c, which seems to be separated from the core scsi-layer. So what is another way to initiate a DV in scsi_error.c? 3.) Maybe related to 2), for now I'm calling spi_schedule_dv_device(), but this is not always doing what I want. [ 406.785104] sd 5:0:2:0: deh: scheduling domain validation [ 408.422530] target5:0:2: Beginning Domain Validation [ 408.466620] target5:0:2: Domain Validation skipping write tests [ 408.472771] target5:0:2: Ending Domain Validation Hmm, somehow related to sdev->inquiry_len, but isn't it the task of spi_schedule_dv_device() and subfunctions to do that properly? Any comments, hints and help is appreciated.
