Subject: [Bug 88771] New: No API to synchronize against SCSI bus scanning
Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2014 16:56:23 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <bug-88771-11613@https.bugzilla.kernel.org/> (raw)

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88771

            Bug ID: 88771
           Summary: No API to synchronize against SCSI bus scanning
           Product: IO/Storage
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 3.2.0
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux
              Tree: Mainline
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: SCSI
          Assignee: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
          Reporter: Simon.Richter@hogyros.de
        Regression: No

With the rightful demise of the scsi_wait_scan module, there is no interface
left to find out whether any host adapter is currently scanning and synchronize
against it.

With a kernel that has asynchronous scanning disabled, modular SCSI drivers and
udev, this can be worked around by "udevadm settle", however that is not a
generic solution.

Would it make sense to provide a sysfs object that an userspace program could
use to synchronize against the end of SCSI scans?
