.SH "NAME"
srp_reconnect_rport \- reconnect to an SRP target port
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.HP \w'int\ srp_reconnect_rport('u
.BI "int srp_reconnect_rport(struct\ srp_rport\ *\ " "rport" ");"
.SH "ARGUMENTS"
.PP
\fIrport\fR
.RS 4
SRP target port\&.
.RE
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
Blocks SCSI command queueing before invoking
\fBreconnect\fR
such that
\fBqueuecommand\fR
won\*(Aqt be invoked concurrently with
\fBreconnect\fR
from outside the SCSI EH\&. This is important since a
\fBreconnect\fR
implementation may reallocate resources needed by
\fBqueuecommand\fR\&.
.SH "NOTES"
.PP
\- This function neither waits until outstanding requests have finished nor tries to abort these\&. It is the responsibility of the
\fBreconnect\fR
function to finish outstanding commands before reconnecting to the target port\&. \- It is the responsibility of the caller to ensure that the resources reallocated by the
\fBreconnect\fR
function won\*(Aqt be used while this function is in progress\&. One possible strategy is to invoke this function from the context of the SCSI EH thread only\&. Another possible strategy is to lock the rport mutex inside each SCSI LLD callback that can be invoked by the SCSI EH (the scsi_host_template\&.eh_*() functions and also the scsi_host_template\&.\fBqueuecommand\fR
function)\&.
