RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

initscripts do not touch cio_ignore.
Comment 3 Gonzalo Muelas Serrano 2010-09-14 10:21:18 UTC 
Hello,
the changes needed to implement this feature are to use the kernel
infrastructure (provided by RH Bug 631517) and the tool (provided by RH Bug
631527) in the scripts when booting the system to solve the issues workarounded with timeouts in RHEL 6.0. For more deatils, please read RH Bug 533494 comments #15 through #35, and get in contact with Dan Horak.

If the boot process just call some scripts done by Dan Horak, then is fine with me to reassign it to Dan Horak.
Comment 4 Steffen Maier 2010-09-14 12:41:18 UTC 
This one is a follow-up on
RH Bug 561339 - [LTC 6.0 FEAT] 201085: unmask and wait for devices, initscripts part
which was originally created for initscripts but ended up in s390utils being triggered by an upstart event early during boot. Sorry for the confusion.

A new kernel interface to reliably block until dynamic free of devices from cio_ignore helps removing no longer necessary waiting loop code from device_cio_free and thus improves maintenance of this s390utils tool.

In order not to loose this part of the feature, reopening and reassigning to s390utils.

Close this feature request as duplicate
to   66875 - RHBZ 631527 -  [6.1 FEAT] Provide userspace handle to wait for cio
pending work - userspace

The functionality could be implemented into s390tools (s390utils) only and get referred to during install and boot.
The calls from installer and scripts already exist with RHEL6  (6.0 FEAT cio_ignore...)  feature request.
.
So nothing to implement for initscripts anymore.
