Hello Dave , Might be nice to also mention the drivers that were being complained about . So there respective mantainers can benifit from your email . Tia , JimL
noted. I'll do a full compile later today and post back the list of drivers broken due to this issue. The only one everyone seems to be complaining about is ide-scsi, but there are definitly others.
Dave,
We only really need one of the new "eh" handlers, either:
eh_device_reset_handler() or eh_bus_reset_handler()
to be implemented in ide-scsi.c in order to go forward. Assuming we pick the first one, perhaps someone could tell me, from the context of ide-scsi, how to (politely) reset the ATAPI device it is referring to?
[A similar approach will suffice for any other scsi drivers "broken" by the removal of abort() and reset(). Eric Youngdale warned of their impending removal about 3 years ago!]
