Hi,
i wrote a lot the last days on semaphores etc ...
I figured out that the thing is a topic of the scsi_error_handler.
The NCR53C9x uses the "scsi_obsolete.c" error_handler. At the
moment i cant figure out how the scan_scsis/scan_scsis_single
scsi_do_cmd thing gets woken up within the old_error_handler
from scsi_obsolete.c ... this seems not to work
Can someone point me out this ?
scsi.c: scan_scsis calls ->
scsi.c: scan_scsis_single calls ->
scsi.c: scsi_do_cmd (this one does the down(&sem) calls -> scsi.c:internal_cmnd
internal_cmnd returns and afterwards scsi_do_cmd down(s)(&sem)
After some while (scsi_add_timer/add_timer works) the timer calls
scsi_obsolete.c: scsi_old_times_out and this just returns
without doing any specific ... (for my case) and how
should the above thread be restarted ? (In a normal case !)
At the moment i am again hopelessly lost ... but it seems i am getting further.
Flo
