Subject: [PATCH v5 4/5] scsi: core: Add device reprobe support to scsi_rescan_device()
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 16:35:03 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618233508.97960-5-brian@purestorage.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618233508.97960-1-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).
