Subject: Question about expected behavior of terminate_rport_io() in fc_function_template
Date: Wed, 23 Sep 2015 19:06:16 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20150923170616.GA16814@bblock-ThinkPad-W530> (raw)
Hello,
just a short question. If a low-level driver implements the function
`terminate_rport_io()` in `struct fc_function_template`, and it gets
called after IO failed, is the low-level driver expected to handle this
request synchronously or can it just schedule an action that is worked on
asynchronously to the call to the function?
Trouble is, we are seeing problems with SCSI-Commands being used by the
upper layers when we expect them to still be ours, after we got a call to
that function and didn't react upon it immediately. They do not contain
valid content anymore when they should.
I've looked into other implementations and it seems there are both
version, some LLDs explicitly wait upon completions of requests they
schedule and others just schedule work-items and return. That may
already be the answer, but I wanted to make sure I am not missing
something here. The documentation on it is not really existing, or I
missed it.
Beste Grüße / Best regards,
- Benjamin Block
