This is just a warning - it won't necessarily cause a crash and in this case it didn't appear to do so. I seem to recall diagnosing this exact locking problem a month or so ago, and cc'ing linux-scsi on that analysis. - : 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
