I was hoping to avoid that; I've already had a rather lengthy
discussion with NetApp about handling Power-on-Reset UA.
We should be discussion that at LSF; Power-on-Reset UA handling
(and queued UA handling in general) has some implications which
could do with a proper elaboration. Rumours have it that Fred
Knight from NetApp will also at LSF, so we'll have someone to ask
for any technical issues :-).
And that's precisely why I hooked the 'sdev->vpd_invalid' flag
into the 'rescan' attribute, so that it can be refreshed on demand.
Cheers,
Hannes
