Subject: [PATCH v7 2/3] ublk: add UBLK_CMD_TRY_STOP_DEV command
Date: Tue, 13 Jan 2026 00:05:01 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260112220502.9141-3-yoav@nvidia.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260112220502.9141-1-yoav@nvidia.com>
Add a best-effort stop command, UBLK_CMD_TRY_STOP_DEV, which only stops a
ublk device when it has no active openers.
Unlike UBLK_CMD_STOP_DEV, this command does not disrupt existing users.
New opens are blocked only after disk_openers has reached zero; if the
device is busy, the command returns -EBUSY and leaves it running.
The ub->block_open flag is used only to close a race with an in-progress
open and does not otherwise change open behavior.
Advertise support via the UBLK_F_SAFE_STOP_DEV feature flag.
