Re: [PATCH, RFC 02/30] scsi: atari_scsi: fix sleep_on race

Geert,

I will submit patches to the Atari SCSI driver based on Arnd's patch later this week. Has Arnd's initial patch made it into mainline yet?

While working on the driver, I noticed my Falcon ran into a memory squeeze once a day, resulting in oom-killing processes and rendering the system unusable. Most likely culprit to trigger this is the daily updatedb run. This sort of trouble started pretty much with my work on the SCSI driver, based on commit aa5311c454ed0ff959adca29c65be2157f52a84c (3.13-rc7). Do you know of any memory leak affecting m68k, introduced between last November and 3.13-rc7?

Cheers,

   Michael
Arnd,

your patch breaks the Atari NCR5380 SCSI driver (easily verified using ARAnyM). Last console output:


Thanks so much for testing and sorry for your troubles. It seems I
got the wrong polarity on at least one of the conditions when converting
from a while()-style loop to an until()-style wait_event loop.
I did double-check all the patches before, but this one must have
slipped through because the use is so obscure.

	Arnd
