Subject: st: allow debug output to be enabled or disabled via sysfs
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d9b43a10f0d04564c6e05de3728c3cbba64c644d;p=linux-beck.git

st: allow debug output to be enabled or disabled via sysfs

Change st driver to allow enabling or disabling debug output
via sysfs file /sys/bus/scsi/drivers/st/debug_flag.

Previously the only way to enable debug output was:

1. loading the driver with the module parameter debug_flag=1
2. an ioctl call (this method was also the only way to dynamically
disable debug output).

To use the ioctl you need a second tape drive (if you are
actively testing the first tape drive) since a second process
cannot open the first tape drive if it is in use.

The this change is only functional if the value of the macro
DEBUG in st.c is a non-zero value (which it is by default).

+Description:
+		This file allows you to turn debug output from the st driver
+		off if you write a '0' to the file or on if you write a '1'.
+		Note that debug output requires that the module be compiled
+		with the #define DEBUG set to a non-zero value (this is the
+		default). If DEBUG is set to 0 then this file will not
+		appear in sysfs as its presence is conditional upon debug
+		output support being compiled into the module.

 If the tape seems to hang, I would be very interested to hear where
 the driver is waiting. With the command 'ps -l' you can see the state
