cciss: make rebuild_lun_table behave better
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch makes the rebuild_lun_table smart enough to not rip a logical
volume out from under the OS. Without this fix if a customer is running
hpacucli to monitor their storage the driver will blindly remove and re-add
the disks whenever the utility calls the CCISS_REGNEWD ioctl. Unfortunately,
both hpacucli and ACUXE call the ioctl repeatedly. Customers have reported
IO coming to a standstill. Calling the ioctl is the problem, this patch is
the fix.
