From 51c1d80e929bace26d2d795bd77fcc14b02ba3bb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Stefan Richter Date: Mon, 12 Dec 2005 23:03:19 -0500 Subject: ieee1394: run high-level updates before high-level probes After a bus reset, let nodemgr call high-level update hooks first for nodes which do not need to be probed. The main benefit is for a bus with more than one SBP-2 device: SBP-2 reconnects will be performed before SBP-2 logins, thus have a much higher chance to succeed, and their SCSI devices will not be blocked much longer than necessary. This was demonstrated for Linux 2.4 by Dave Cinege a while ago. A better approach would be to perform time-consuming probes in parallel by a subthread. I actually plan to implement this for sbp2 but it may take a while to get that done and tested. Until then, this tweak is a huge improvement for users with multiple SBP-2 devices.
