https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88771 Bug ID: 88771 Summary: No API to synchronize against SCSI bus scanning Product: IO/Storage Version: 2.5 Kernel Version: 3.2.0 Hardware: All OS: Linux Tree: Mainline Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P1 Component: SCSI Assignee: linux-scsi@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Reporter: Simon.Richter@xxxxxxxxxx Regression: No With the rightful demise of the scsi_wait_scan module, there is no interface left to find out whether any host adapter is currently scanning and synchronize against it. With a kernel that has asynchronous scanning disabled, modular SCSI drivers and udev, this can be worked around by "udevadm settle", however that is not a generic solution. Would it make sense to provide a sysfs object that an userspace program could use to synchronize against the end of SCSI scans? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug. -- 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
