But I did so earlier this morning. What I see is that the following warning message is reported frequently: WARNING: CPU: 1 PID: 136 at drivers/scsi/sd.c:3009 sd_probe_async+0x1ce/0x1e0 Modules linked in: ib_srp libcrc32c scsi_transport_srp target_core_pscsi target_core_file ib_srpt target_core_iblock target_core_mod brd dm_multipath scsi_dh_rdac scsi_dh_emc scsi_dh_alua netconsole xt_CHECKSUM iptable_mangle ipt_MASQUERADE nf_nat_masquerade_ipv4 iptable_nat nf_nat_ipv4 nf_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack nf_conntrack ipt_REJECT xt_tcpudp tun ebtable_filter ebtables ip6table_filter ip6_tables iptable_filter ip_tables x_tables af_packet bridge stp llc iscsi_ibft iscsi_boot_sysfs ib_ipoib rdma_ucm ib_ucm ib_uverbs ib_umad msr rdma_cm configfs ib_cm iw_cm mlx4_ib ib_core sb_edac edac_core x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp coretemp kvm_intel kvm dm_mod irqbypass ipmi_ssif crct10dif_pclmul ipmi_devintf crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel iTCO_wdt aes_x86_64 lrw iTCO_vendor_support dcdbas gf128mul tg3 mlx4_core glue_helper ablk_helper ptp cryptd fjes ipmi_si pcspkr pps_core libphy ipmi_msghandler mei_me tpm_tis tpm_tis_core mei tpm lpc_ich shpchp mfd_core wmi button hid_generic usbhid mgag200 i2c_algo_bit drm_kms_helper syscopyarea sysfillrect sysimgblt fb_sys_fops ttm drm sr_mod cdrom crc32c_intel ehci_pci ehci_hcd usbcore usb_common sg [last unloaded: scsi_transport_srp] CPU: 1 PID: 136 Comm: kworker/u64:8 Tainted: G W 4.8.0-rc4-dbg+ #2 Hardware name: Dell Inc.
