Subject: [PATCH 0/4] notify userspace of offline->running transitions
Date: Fri, 4 May 2012 05:23:20 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1336127004-2358-1-git-send-email-michaelc@cs.wisc.edu> (raw)
The following patches were made over the misc branch of the scsi tree.
The patches fix a issue where if the device is offlined or IO is
failed due to fast_io_fail (fc) /recovery_tmo (iscsi) then comes
back, apps do not have a way a nice way to figure out the state
has transitioned to running. Apps have to either poll the sysfs state
file or send a SG IO to figure it out. With the patch apps can listen
for the KOBJ CHANGE event like some of them (at least udev does) do
already.
