From: Raghava Aditya Renukunta <raghavaaditya.renukunta@xxxxxxxx> During EEH PCI hotplug activity kernel unloads and loads the driver, causing character device to be unregistered(aac_remove_one).When the driver is loaded back using aac_probe_one the character device needs to be registered again for the AIF management tools to work. Fixed by adding code to register character device in aac_probe_one if it is unregistered in aac_remove_one. Changes in V2: Added macros to track character device state Changes in V3: None Changes in V4: None Changes in V5: None Changes in V6: None Signed-off-by: Raghava Aditya Renukunta <raghavaaditya.renukunta@xxxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Shane Seymour <shane.seymour@xxxxxxx> Reviewed-by: Johannes Thumshirn <jthumshirn@xxxxxxx> --- drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h | 7 +++++++ drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c | 21 ++++++++++++++------- 2 files changed, 21 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h index 75bc65e..9cdf4d2 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h +++ b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/aacraid.h @@ -94,6 +94,13 @@ enum { #define aac_phys_to_logical(x) ((x)+1) #define aac_logical_to_phys(x) ((x)?(x)-1:0) +/* + * These macros are for keeping track of + * character device state. + */ +#define AAC_CHARDEV_UNREGISTERED (-1) +#define AAC_CHARDEV_NEEDS_REINIT (-2) + /* #define AAC_DETAILED_STATUS_INFO */ struct diskparm diff --git a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c index 334f2a6..21a67ed 100644 --- a/drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c +++ b/drivers/scsi/aacraid/linit.c @@ -80,7 +80,7 @@ MODULE_VERSION(AAC_DRIVER_FULL_VERSION); static DEFINE_MUTEX(aac_mutex); static LIST_HEAD(aac_devices); -static int aac_cfg_major = -1; +static int aac_cfg_major = AAC_CHARDEV_UNREGISTERED; char aac_driver_version[] = AAC_DRIVER_FULL_VERSION; /* @@ -1118,6 +1118,13 @@ static void __aac_shutdown(struct aac_dev * aac) else if (aac->max_msix > 1) pci_disable_msix(aac->pdev); } +static void aac_init_char(void) +{ + aac_cfg_major = register_chrdev(0, "aac", &aac_cfg_fops); + if (aac_cfg_major < 0) { + pr_err("aacraid: unable to register \"aac\" device.\n"); + } +} static int aac_probe_one(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *id) { @@ -1175,6 +1182,9 @@ static int aac_probe_one(struct pci_dev *pdev, const struct pci_device_id *id) shost->max_cmd_len = 16; shost->use_cmd_list = 1; + if (aac_cfg_major == AAC_CHARDEV_NEEDS_REINIT) + aac_init_char(); + aac = (struct aac_dev *)shost->hostdata; aac->base_start = pci_resource_start(pdev, 0); aac->scsi_host_ptr = shost; @@ -1514,7 +1524,7 @@ static void aac_remove_one(struct pci_dev *pdev) pci_disable_device(pdev); if (list_empty(&aac_devices)) { unregister_chrdev(aac_cfg_major, "aac"); - aac_cfg_major = -1; + aac_cfg_major = AAC_CHARDEV_NEEDS_REINIT; } } @@ -1674,11 +1684,8 @@ static int __init aac_init(void) if (error < 0) return error; - aac_cfg_major = register_chrdev( 0, "aac", &aac_cfg_fops); - if (aac_cfg_major < 0) { - printk(KERN_WARNING - "aacraid: unable to register \"aac\" device.\n"); - } + aac_init_char(); + return 0; } -- 1.9.1 -- 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
