Bug ID: 88771
Summary: No API to synchronize against SCSI bus scanning
Product: IO/Storage
Version: 2.5
Kernel Version: 3.2.0
Hardware: All
OS: Linux
Tree: Mainline
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1
Component: SCSI
Assignee: linux-scsi@vger.kernel.org
Reporter: Simon.Richter@hogyros.de
Regression: No
With the rightful demise of the scsi_wait_scan module, there is no interface
left to find out whether any host adapter is currently scanning and synchronize
against it.
With a kernel that has asynchronous scanning disabled, modular SCSI drivers and
udev, this can be worked around by "udevadm settle", however that is not a
generic solution.
Would it make sense to provide a sysfs object that an userspace program could
use to synchronize against the end of SCSI scans?
