Due to some oversight, the SCSI capability for reporting media change notifications was never actually translated into setting the appropriate GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY flag. HAL uses this flag to detect whether the block device supports change notifications and so it never actually got detected. Set the flag when appropriate in sd and sr. Signed-off-by: Robert Hancock <hancockrwd@xxxxxxxxx> --- Gaah, am I disappointed in finding this one. Apparently people went to the trouble of adding ATAPI AN support, and adding the appropriate flags to indicate to userspace that it was supported, but nobody ever tested to make sure that the support worked all the way through to actually make HAL stop polling optical drives that support AN, which to my dismay, it doesn't. In fact even with this patch it still doesn't seem to, but that's presumably some HAL bug. HAL does now report that storage.removable.support_async_notification = true, however. diff --git a/drivers/scsi/sd.c b/drivers/scsi/sd.c index 8dd96dc..c1f474e 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/sd.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/sd.c @@ -2012,6 +2012,8 @@ static void sd_probe_async(void *data, async_cookie_t cookie) gd->flags = GENHD_FL_EXT_DEVT | GENHD_FL_DRIVERFS; if (sdp->removable) gd->flags |= GENHD_FL_REMOVABLE; + if (test_bit(SDEV_EVT_MEDIA_CHANGE, sdp->supported_events)) + gd->flags |= GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY; dev_set_drvdata(dev, sdkp); add_disk(gd); diff --git a/drivers/scsi/sr.c b/drivers/scsi/sr.c index eb61f7a..485898e 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/sr.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/sr.c @@ -642,6 +642,8 @@ static int sr_probe(struct device *dev) dev_set_drvdata(dev, cd); disk->flags |= GENHD_FL_REMOVABLE; + if (test_bit(SDEV_EVT_MEDIA_CHANGE, sdev->supported_events)) + disk->flags |= GENHD_FL_MEDIA_CHANGE_NOTIFY; add_disk(disk); sdev_printk(KERN_DEBUG, sdev, -- To unsubscribe from this list: 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
