SCSI_INTERNAL_DEVICE(9) SCSI mid layer SCSI_INTERNAL_DEVICE(9)

NAME

scsi_internal_device_unblock - resume a device after a block request

SYNOPSIS

int scsi_internal_device_unblock(struct scsi_device * sdev);

ARGUMENTS

sdev
device to resume

DESCRIPTION

Called by scsi lld's or the midlayer to restart the device queue for the previously suspended scsi device. Called from interrupt or normal process context.
Returns zero if successful or error if not.

NOTES

This routine transitions the device to the SDEV_RUNNING state (which must be a legal transition) allowing the midlayer to goose the queue for this device. This routine assumes the host_lock is held upon entry.
