Hi,
I recently added AEN support to scst_local so that newly add LUNs on a
target, or LUNs that are deleted are dealt with. In a work function I
call scsi_scan_target with the LUN set to SCAN_WILD_CARD. This works
well when LUNs are added (the new LUNs are found and installed in the
kernel), but does not work when LUNs are deleted. The LUNs are not
removed from the kernel.
Perhaps I am doing it the wrong way, and if so can someone tell me the
correct way.
However, in looking at scsi_report_lun_scan it seemed that after it
finishes scanning the LUNs found in the REPORT_LUNS response, it
should remove any LUNs the still exist beyond the last LUN that was
reported in the REPORT_LUNS response. The following patch is an
attempt to do this, and while it seems to work (in the limited testing
I have done), it still has problems:
1. It does not remove LUN 0, even if LUN 0 no longer exists, although
perhaps that is OK.
2. It should probably do the same when there are gaps in the LUNs
reported. Eg, if LUNs 0, 1, 5 are reported, we should probably check
to see of 2,3 and 4 no longer exist and delete them.
Does this sound reasonable?
