From 26cf591e6dfc0d07495b7bcf20a557b316811f00 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Douglas Gilbert Date: Sat, 18 Oct 2014 22:11:21 +0200 Subject: scsi: add SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE flag to SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl Further to a January 2013 thread titled: "[PATCH] SG_SCSI_RESET ioctl should only perform requested operation" by Jeremy Linton a patch (v3) is presented that expands the existing ioctl to include "no_escalate" versions to the existing resets. This requires no changes to SCSI low level drivers (LLDs); it adds several more finely tuned reset options to the user space. For example: /* This call remains the same, with the same escalating semantics * if the device (LU) reset fail. That is: on failure to try a * target reset and if that fails, try a bus reset, and if that fails * try a host (i.e. LLD) reset. */ val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE; res = ioctl(, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val); /* What follows is a new option introduced by this patch series. Only * a device reset is attempted. If that fails then an appropriate * error code is provided. N.B. There is no reset escalation. */ val = SG_SCSI_RESET_DEVICE | SG_SCSI_RESET_NO_ESCALATE; res = ioctl(, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val); Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert Reviewed-by: Jeremy Linton Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig --- include/scsi/scsi_eh.h | 5 +++++ 1 file changed, 5 insertions(+) (limited to 'include/scsi/scsi_eh.h') diff --git a/include/scsi/scsi_eh.h b/include/scsi/scsi_eh.h index 06a8790893ef..49af14ad5288 100644 --- a/include/scsi/scsi_eh.h +++ b/include/scsi/scsi_eh.h @@ -62,11 +62,16 @@ extern void scsi_build_sense_buffer(int desc, u8 *buf, u8 key, u8 asc, u8 ascq); /* * Reset request from external source + * Note: if SCSI_TRY_RESET_DEVICE fails then it will escalate to + * SCSI_TRY_RESET_TARGET which if it fails will escalate to + * SCSI_TRY_RESET_BUS which if it fails will escalate to SCSI_TRY_RESET_HOST. + * To prevent escalation OR with SCSI_TRY_RESET_NO_ESCALATE. */ #define SCSI_TRY_RESET_DEVICE 1 #define SCSI_TRY_RESET_BUS 2 #define SCSI_TRY_RESET_HOST 3 #define SCSI_TRY_RESET_TARGET 4 +#define SCSI_TRY_RESET_NO_ESCALATE 0x100 /* OR-ed to prior defines */ extern int scsi_reset_provider(struct scsi_device *, int); -- cgit v1.2.2
