More extensive change but probably with simpler end result: Let sbp2_probe and sbp2_update perform login/scsi_add_device/reconnect directly. sbp2_probe and sbp2_update are serialized per node, but (since 2.6.36 with cmwq) parallelized across nodes. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- =-=- -==-= http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
