[PATCH 2/2] hpsa: export resettable host attribute

From: Stephen M. Cameron
Date: Wed Mar 09 2011 - 18:00:15 EST


From: Stephen M. Cameron <scameron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

This attribute, requested by Redhat, allows kexec-tools to know
whether the controller can honor the reset_devices kernel parameter
and actually reset the controller. For kdump to work properly it
is necessary that the reset_devices parameter be honored. This
attribute enables kexec-tools to warn the user if they attempt to
designate a non-resettable controller as the dump device.

+ The "resettable" read-only attribute indicates whether a particular
+ controller is able to honor the "reset_devices" kernel parameter. If the
+ device is resettable, this file will contain a "1", otherwise, a "0". This
+ parameter is used by kdump, for example, to reset the controller at driver
+ load time to eliminate any outstanding commands on the controller and get the
+ controller into a known state so that the kdump initiated i/o will work right
+ and not be disrupted in any way by stale commands or other stale state
+ remaining on the controller from the previous kernel. This attribute enables
+ kexec tools to warn the user if they attempt to designate a device which is
+ unable to honor the reset_devices kernel parameter as a dump device.
