X-Git-Tag: v2.6.25-rc4~158^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://err.no/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=e80de3704ac30ddb7f9a12447a2ecee32ccd7880;p=linux-2.6

firewire: fw-sbp2: enforce a retry of __scsi_add_device if bus generation changed

fw-sbp2 is unable to reconnect while performing __scsi_add_device
because there is only a single workqueue thread context available for
both at the moment.  This should be fixed eventually.

An actual failure of __scsi_add_device is easy to handle, but an
incomplete execution of __scsi_add_device with an sdev returned would
remain undetected and leave the SBP-2 target unusable.

Therefore we use a workaround:  If there was a bus reset during
__scsi_add_device (i.e. during the SCSI probe), we remove the new sdev
immediately, log out, and attempt login and SCSI probe again.
