I think we want to: 1. Allow lio to do more than wait for a command during aborts. For lio we will want to add callouts similar to how we can override discard/unmap behavior. 2. In the block layer add callouts/cmds so that we can abort requests/bios at the LLD level. 3. For rbd, we will implement support for #2. In ceph then we would need to add code to be able to track down commands and kill them if we can or at least figure out what is going on and log a message so we do not have these mysterious hung commands. I have been meaning to get to this, but as you have seen on the list I have taken a couple wrong turns on the cluster support and am still working on that. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
