Hi Jens,
this series replaced the not very nice check_disk_change() function with
a new bdev_media_changed that avoids having the ->revalidate_disk call
at its end. As a result ->revalidate_disk can be removed from a lot of
drivers.
For over 20 years the sg driver has been carrying this snippet that hangs
off the completion callback:
if (driver_stat & DRIVER_SENSE) {
struct scsi_sense_hdr ssh;
if (scsi_normalize_sense(sbp, sense_len, &ssh)) {
if (!scsi_sense_is_deferred(&ssh)) {
if (ssh.sense_key == UNIT_ATTENTION) {
if (sdp->device->removable)
sdp->device->changed = 1;
}
}
}
}
Is it needed? The unit attention (UA) may not be associated with the
device changing. Shouldn't the SCSI mid-level monitor UAs if they
impact the state of a scsi_device object?
We do; check scsi_io_completion_action() in drivers/scsi/scsi_lib.c
So I don't think you'd need to keep it in sg.c.
Cheers,
Hannes
