Hi, we need to get the information that specified the host is going to
shut down or restart. Ideally, our device can reference the HW signal to
know the host is going to shut down or restart, unfortunately, we face
the HW signal issue on various motherboards.
We experiment on many motherboards, and we observe that the restart
signal is different on different motherboard. If device misses the
signal, PCI loss or volume disappearance might happen.
Currently, stex.c cannot send reboot signal to the fw because the only
way to distinct shut down and restart on driver side is
register_reboot_notifier() which is not allow to SCSI driver.
Could you provide some suggestions?
Add reboot feature is the forth patch in stex.c patch series.
Patch 1~3 have been sent to Linux-SCSI mailing list. Patch 4 is the
reboot patch and I don't sent it to Linux-SCSI mailing list.
Attach patch 4 as following.

Subject: [PATCH 4/4] scsi:stex.c Add reboot support
1. Add reboot support, Pegasus devices should be notified that
the host is going to shutdown/restart. I register reboot callback
function to distinct host is going to shutdown or to restart.
