Public bug reported: ---Problem Description--- Some CAPI Flash cards need notification of device shutdown in order to flush pending I/Os.
A PCI notification hook for shutdown has been added where the driver notifies the card and returns. When the device is removed in the PCI remove path, this code will wait for shutdown processing to complete. It could take a minimum of 1 second for shutdown processing to complete. To avoid an indefinite wait, code has been added to read the status incrementally from 100ms up to 1.5 seconds. Contact Information = [email protected] This is a defect placeholder for submitting a patch to Canonical, that is in the process of getting submitted upstream for the 4.8 kernel. We would like to have this patch included in the pointrelease, 16.04.1. Please lookout for the patch that will be attached to this bug soon and probably closer to the deadline for 16.04.1. I will submit the patch as soon as I get the review comments addressed and well tested. -- Uma ** Affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Assignee: Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) Status: New ** Tags: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-142535 severity-high targetmilestone-inin16041 ** Tags added: architecture-ppc64le bugnameltc-142535 severity-high targetmilestone-inin16041 ** Changed in: ubuntu Assignee: (unassigned) => Taco Screen team (taco-screen-team) ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1592114 Title: Device shutdown notification for CAPI Flash cards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1592114/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
