This patch introduces a new rescan sys-interface for channel-subsystem. The rescan interface allows the user to invoke an evaluation of all subchannels defined in the I/O configuration. The new rescan interface can be found at /sys/devices/css0/rescan and can be triggered by, echo > /sys/devices/css0/rescan Writing to this interface triggers subchannel evaluation. The write request completes only after scan-related work has completed This user-invoked subchannel evaluation allows manual recovery in error situations such as: - restart of device discovery after resolution of temporary device error - inconsistent OS view of subchannel state due to missing state-change interrupts (CRWs) Signed-off-by: Vineeth Vijayan <vneethv@linux.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
