Also too much other work on the sdevs, etc to really get a good feel for things. Plus that should be handled by default in the other layers. However, I wouldn't address it via eliminating the recursion level check. We're testing a patch that deals with the recursion by not doing it. Oldest trick in the book :) Will keep you posted once we know the results. -- james s - : 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
