Subject: [PATCH 3/3] scsi_dh: Workaround a race condition in module insertion
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2009 18:36:33 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20090318013633.26548.94042.sendpatchset@chandra-ubuntu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090318013615.26548.36303.sendpatchset@chandra-ubuntu>
From: Chandra Seetharaman <sekharan@us.ibm.com>
scsi_dh odule is getting inserted as soon as the first device is seen.
But, the first device is not seen by the module as we were past the
ADD_DEVICE handling in the module.
Catch the first device by handling BUS_NOTIFY_BOUND_DRIVER event,
and not handle that event for any of the future devices (as they would
have been handled by ADD_DEVICE event).
