[PATCH] ieee1394 hotplug SCSI interaction 2.4.20-pre10

From: Erik Andersen (andersen@codepoet.org)

As has been reported a few times on the linux1394-devel mailing
list, hotplugging firewire drives only sortof works. A recent
posting to the list rehashing the problems

    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=1151203&forum_id=5389

reminded me of my old partial fix for this problem that was
sitting unfinished. So last night I polished it up, fixed the
bugs, and it is now working perfectly for me.

Without this patch, hotplugging firewire drives will register the
drives with the 1394 layers, but will not register them with the
SCSI subsystem. Unplugging firewire drives leaves the (now
absent) drives still registered with the SCSI subsystem. As you
can imagine, the current situation sucks, and makes hotplugging
firewire drives mostly useless. To make things behave correctly,
one needs to manually add/remove SBP-2 devices using a shell script
(http://www.garloff.de/kurt/linux/rescan-scsi-bus.sh) that
pokes at /proc/scsi/scsi by scanning though all your SCSI hosts
and then does things like
    echo "scsi remove-single-device 0 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi
for each and every SCSI device on your system. I don't consider
such things safe or desirable at all.

It seemed to me that since the kernel had all the information to
do the Right Thing(tm), it made sense to connect the
remove-single-device and add-single-device functionality of
/proc/scsi/scsi together with the sbp2 driver so the Right
Thing(tm) could happen automagically.

With my patch applied, one can now plug in firewire drives and
they will all be automagically registered with the SCSI
subsystem. When one unplugs SBP-2 devices, they will be
automagically unregistered from the SCSI subsystem.

When I posted my earlier effort to the linux1394-devel list:
    http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=949390&forum_id=5389
it was decided that the change to the SCSI subsystem needed to
expose scsi_add_single_device() and scsi_remove_single_device()
was not desirable. I'll leave the decision on that to others.

For the moment, this patch is works nicely for me and makes using
firewire drives a much nicer experience.

Have fun,

 -Erik
