First saw these messages on next-20111102 (but my previous build from linux-next was next-20111017 ... so a big gap). Still there today in next-20111103. Not seeing these messages from Linus 3.2 merge window builds. lspci says: ---------- 20:01.0 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08) 20:01.1 SCSI storage controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic 53c1030 PCI-X Fusion-MPT Dual Ultra320 SCSI (rev 08) extract from dmesg: ------------------ Fusion MPT base driver 3.04.20 Copyright (c) 1999-2008 LSI Corporation Fusion MPT SPI Host driver 3.04.20 GSI 27 (level, low) -> CPU 0 (0x0000) vector 54 mptspi 0000:20:01.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 27 (level, low) -> IRQ 54 mptbase: ioc0: Initiating bringup ioc0: LSI53C1030 C0: Capabilities={Initiator,Target} scsi0 : ioc0: LSI53C1030 C0, FwRev=01032341h, Ports=1, MaxQ=255, IRQ=54 scsi 0:0:0:0: Direct-Access HP 36.4G MAU3036NC HPC2 PQ: 0 ANSI: 3 scsi target0:0:0: Beginning Domain Validation scsi target0:0:0: Ending Domain Validation scsi target0:0:0: FAST-160 WIDE SCSI 320.0 MB/s DT IU QAS RTI WRFLOW PCOMP (6.25 ns, offset 127) sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi generic sg0 type 0 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 71132960 512-byte logical blocks: (36.4 GB/33.9 GiB) scsi 0:0:1:0: Direct-Access HP 36.4G MAU3036NC HPC2 PQ: 0 ANSI: 3 scsi target0:0:1: Beginning Domain Validation sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: cf 00 10 08 sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA scsi target0:0:1: Ending Domain Validation scsi target0:0:1: FAST-160 WIDE SCSI 320.0 MB/s DT IU QAS RTI WRFLOW PCOMP (6.25 ns, offset 127) sd 0:0:1:0: Attached scsi generic sg1 type 0 sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] 71132960 512-byte logical blocks: (36.4 GB/33.9 GiB) sda: sda1 sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write Protect is off sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Mode Sense: cf 00 10 08 scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue sd 0:0:1:0: [sdb] Write cache: disabled, read cache: enabled, supports DPO and FUA scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue scsi: killing requests for dead queue bunch more "scsi: killing requests for dead queue" messages.
