But, otherwise, this patch is necessary because some drivers don't implement host reset (e.g. hpsa). -Ewan > return ret; > > if (!strncmp(buf, "off", strlen("off"))) -- 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
