Seeing a flurry of slab corruption messages during ipr probe on a Power5 system. Been a while since I tested on this box, so I'm not sure when this started. I'll try to narrow it down in the meantime. Since the messages are so numerous that the log buffer wraps, I modified check_poison_obj to dump_stack on the first detection of corruption and captured the following: Linux version 2.6.15-rc5-ge4f5c82a (nathanl@zippy) (gcc version 3.3.2) #14 SMP PREEMPT Sun Dec 11 12:30:16 CST 2005 <snip> ipr: IBM Power RAID SCSI Device Driver version: 2.1.0 (October 31, 2005) ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Found IOA with IRQ: 167 ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Starting IOA initialization sequence. ipr 0001:d0:01.0: Adapter firmware version: 020A005C ipr 0001:d0:01.0: IOA initialized. scsi0 : IBM 570B Storage Adapter Slab corruption: start=c000000007650340, len=728 Redzone: 0x5a2cf071/0x5a2cf071.
