This series ties scsi_dh deeper into the scsi core, and fixes all kinds of issues in it, most importantly the race between using and detaching device handlers. Changes since V1: - updated comments / strings based on review feedback - moved scsi_dh.c to drivers/scsi to fix the srcdir = objdir build - changed the old patch 2 to have saner handling of mismatching device handlers in dm. - dropped patch 1: not having a hw handler is fine if we don't plan to change it anyway - dropped patch 3: not necessary anymore. Changes since V2: - Fixup issues during attaching device_handler from dm-multipath - Add patch to clarify scsi_dh_activate() error codes Changes since V3: - Fixup minor bugs discovered during testing - Fixup patch description Christoph Hellwig (8): dm-mpath, scsi_dh: don't let dm detach device handlers dm-mpath, scsi_dh: request scsi_dh modules in scsi_dh, not dm-mpath scsi_dh: move to drivers/scsi scsi_dh: integrate into the core SCSI code scsi_dh: move device matching to the core code scsi_dh: kill struct scsi_dh_data scsi_dh: add a common helper to get a scsi_device from a request_queue scsi_dh: don't allow to detach device handlers at runtime Hannes Reinecke (2): scsi_dh: return SCSI_DH_NOTCONN in scsi_dh_activate() scsi_dh: move 'dh_state' sysfs attribute to generic code drivers/md/dm-mpath.c | 27 +- drivers/scsi/Makefile | 1 + drivers/scsi/device_handler/Kconfig | 2 +- drivers/scsi/device_handler/Makefile | 1 - drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh.c | 621 ---------------------------- drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_alua.c | 31 +- drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_emc.c | 58 +-- drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_hp_sw.c | 55 +-- drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh_rdac.c | 80 +--- drivers/scsi/scsi_dh.c | 371 +++++++++++++++++ drivers/scsi/scsi_error.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c | 6 +- drivers/scsi/scsi_priv.h | 9 + drivers/scsi/scsi_sysfs.c | 68 +++ include/scsi/scsi_device.h | 27 +- include/scsi/scsi_dh.h | 29 +- 16 files changed, 527 insertions(+), 865 deletions(-) delete mode 100644 drivers/scsi/device_handler/scsi_dh.c create mode 100644 drivers/scsi/scsi_dh.c -- 1.8.5.6 -- 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
