Hello Jaco, My recommendation is to wait until the mpt3sas maintainers post a fix for what I reported yesterday on the linux-scsi mailing list. Enabling CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP has namely a very annoying consequence for the mpt3sas driver: the first process that hits the "sleep in atomic context" bug gets killed. I don't think that you want this kind of behavior on a production setup. Bart.
