Subject: [PATCH 5/6] scsi: Add device reprobe support to scsi_rescan_device()
Date: Fri, 24 Apr 2026 14:53:23 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260424215324.99045-6-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260424215324.99045-1-brian@purestorage.com>
Update INQUIRY data on rescan and call device_reprobe() if PQ or type
changed. Critical for ALUA unavailable state handling (SPC-4 5.15.2.4.4).
