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_or_block_fd>, 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_or_block_fd>, SG_SCSI_RESET, &val); Signed-off-by: Douglas Gilbert <dgilbert@interlog.com> Reviewed-by: Jeremy Linton <jlinton@tributary.com> Reviewed-by: Hannes Reinecke <hare@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de>
