Hello Mike, If I trigger failover and failback with kernel v4.8-rc2 and ib_srp then I see the following: BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000080 IP: [<ffffffff8130d03b>] blk_mq_insert_request+0x3b/0xc0 CPU: 4 PID: 12606 Comm: kdmwork-254:1 Not tainted 4.8.0-rc2-dbg+ #1 Hardware name: Dell Inc.

This was observed with the same test software and configuration I used for my kernel v4.7 tests (CONFIG_SCSI_MQ_DEFAULT=y and CONFIG_DM_MQ_DEFAULT=n). The above callstack was not observed while testing kernel v4.7. Can you have a look at this? Thanks, Bart. -- dm-devel mailing list dm-devel@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/dm-devel
