New: No API to synchronize against SCSI bus scanning
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=88771
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: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Regression: NoWith 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?

You really need to discuss that on the mailing list, it's not a bug as such so this isn't a good place for it (and it'll just get lost)
