pm8001_pci_probe函数分析之scsi_scan_host（一）

接着分析pm8001_pci_probe中调用到的scsi_scan_host函数下面是scsi_scan_host的代码

/**
 * scsi_scan_host - scan the given adapter
 * @shost:	adapter to scan
 **/
void scsi_scan_host(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
	struct task_struct *p;
	struct async_scan_data *data;

	if (strncmp(scsi_scan_type, "none", 4) == 0)
		return;

	data = scsi_prep_async_scan(shost);
	if (!data) {
		do_scsi_scan_host(shost);
		return;
	}

	p = kthread_run(do_scan_async, data, "scsi_scan_%d", shost->host_no);
	if (IS_ERR(p))
		do_scan_async(data);
}

下面看一下scsi_scan_type是什么，显然它的值是字符串 "async"或者"sync

#ifdef CONFIG_SCSI_SCAN_ASYNC
#define SCSI_SCAN_TYPE_DEFAULT "async"
#else
#define SCSI_SCAN_TYPE_DEFAULT "sync"
#endif

scsi_scan_type[6]=SCSI_SCAN_TYPE_DEFAULT;

如果是异步扫描，那么scsi_prep_async_scan的返回值为TRUE,!data为FALSE,接着用kthread_run执行一个线程。如果是同步扫描，!data为TRUE,直接调用do_scsi_scan_host。结合pm8001的代码我们分别来看一下。首先，我们看一下异步扫描：

p = kthread_run(do_scan_async, data, "scsi_scan_%d", shost->host_no);

在线程环境中调用do_scan_async函数：

static int do_scan_async(void *_data)
{
	struct async_scan_data *data = _data;
	do_scsi_scan_host(data->shost);
	scsi_finish_async_scan(data);
	return 0;
}

下面是do_scsi_scan_host函数：

static void do_scsi_scan_host(struct Scsi_Host *shost)
{
    if (shost->hostt->scan_finished) {
        unsigned long start = jiffies;
        if (shost->hostt->scan_start)
            shost->hostt->scan_start(shost);

        while (!shost->hostt->scan_finished(shost, jiffies - start))
            msleep(10);
    } else {
        scsi_scan_host_selected(shost, SCAN_WILD_CARD, SCAN_WILD_CARD,
                SCAN_WILD_CARD, 0);
    }
}

在pm8001_pci_probe中已经调用过shost = scsi_host_alloc(&pm8001_sht, sizeof(void *));它完成的功能是分配scsi_host的内存并以pm8001_sht为模板初始化

/**
 * scsi_host_alloc - register a scsi host adapter instance.
 * @sht:	pointer to scsi host template
 * @privsize:	extra bytes to allocate for driver
 *
 * Note:
 * 	Allocate a new Scsi_Host and perform basic initialization.
 * 	The host is not published to the scsi midlayer until scsi_add_host
 * 	is called.
 *
 * Return value:
 * 	Pointer to a new Scsi_Host
