Subject: [PATCH] remove scsi_assign_lock
Date: Fri, 13 Jan 2006 19:25:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060113182543.GA4148@lst.de> (raw)

We finally fixed all drivers to not require this hack, so let's get rid
of it before people reintroduce uses (vendor drivers seem to be very
eager to use it for no obvious reason)

 Each struct Scsi_Host instance has a spin_lock called struct 
 Scsi_Host::default_lock which is initialized in scsi_host_alloc() [found in 
 hosts.c]. Within the same function the struct Scsi_Host::host_lock pointer

-LLDs can override the use of struct Scsi_Host::default_lock by

-be in the detect() function after it has invoked scsi_register(). It

-lock of equal granularity (i.e. per host). Using finer grain locks 
-(e.g. per SCSI device) may be possible by juggling locks in
-queuecommand().
