Just to make sure everyone agrees on this - there's currently a know bug in dc395x with highmem reported by Pierre Ossman in thread "Kernel panic with dc395x in 2.6.12.2" on linux-scsi. It is also trivial to reproduce on non-highmem machines. It was there also in 2.6.12. It only was hit by one person because not many use dc395x controlled cards in highmem machines today. The fix is known - at least revert my patch to dc395x commited to 2.6.12-rc5. This will fix this bug, leaving another one, which is much harder to hit. There was only one person who hit it, but he cannot test any more patches - the hardware is not there any more. I think I have a fix for that one too, but that's another story. So, I would say it would be worth it reverting that patch before 2.6.13, but, that's because I feel personal responsibility for that bug:-) Thanks Guennadi --- Guennadi Liakhovetski - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-scsi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
