It does this from within spinlock and, as we see here, from within softirq. Methinks the people who developed and tested that patch forgot to enable CONFIG_PREEMPT, CONFIG_DEBUG_KERNEL, CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB, CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK and CONFIG_DEBUG_SPINLOCK_SLEEP. - : 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
