Yes your patch will work. I just have tested it by sending INTERNAL_DEVICE_RESETS events, and the code is getting executed.

This is what we want: if (event_data->ReasonCode != MPI2_EVENT_SAS_DEV_STAT_RC_INTERNAL_DEVICE_RESET && event_data->ReasonCode != MPI2_EVENT_SAS_DEV_STAT_RC_CMP_INTERNAL_DEV_RESET) return; Eric, the fix needs runtime testing please - it enables code which hasn't been executed in a long time, if ever. In fact the compiler wasn't even emitting any code for the second half of _scsih_sas_device_status_change_event() because it worked out that there was no path to it. -- 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
