SYNOPSIS

10

ARGUMENTS

12       sdev
13           scsi device to quiesce.

DESCRIPTION

16       This works by trying to transition to the SDEV_QUIESCE state (which
17       must be a legal transition). When the device is in this state, only
18       special requests will be accepted, all others will be deferred. Since
19       special requests may also be requeued requests, a successful return
20       doesn't guarantee the device will be totally quiescent.
21
22       Must be called with user context, may sleep.
23
24       Returns zero if unsuccessful or an error if not.
