Right, it'd block other devices sharing the port. Doesn't sas map each ata device to its own port tho? > Actually in sas_ata_hard_reset, there are two situations returned > -ENODEV which represent device is gone: > - LLDD directly returns -ENODEV through lldd_I_T_nexus_reset; > - It sends SMP DISCOVER to check local phy in smp_ata_check_ready, > and find it is gone; So, if there are real consequences, we can definitely add a way to short-circuit the recovery logic but let's do that by adding proper signaling rathr than testing for driver type.
