Subject: [PATCH] Midlayer initiated START_UNIT
Date: Thu, 29 Jan 2004 16:15:02 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <401985E6.8060603@us.ibm.com> (raw)

James,

This is a patch to issue a START_UNIT command from the midlayer error handler.
The ipr driver, which is currently out for review needs this to function properly.
Any time the adapter gets reset, the disk array resources under the ipr adapter
require another START_UNIT command. This causes problems with the current error
handling and these devices get taken offline when this occurs.

This was being handled by the ipr driver itself, but Christoph did not like
seeing a LLDD issuing commands to devices, hence the patch.

Patch is against 2.6.2-rc2.

Thanks
