Hi, I tried to use the iSCSI initiator with iscsitarget on 2.6.21-rc6 today, with rather mixed results. I could log in okay, and a device would appear. Trying to mount that device would hang though: kernel: iscsi: ctask enq [read cid 0 sc df57e500 cdb 0x28 itt 0x1c len 4096 cmdsn 29 win 33] kernel: iscsi: cmdrsp [op 0x25 cid 0 itt 0x1c len 0] ... kernel: iscsi: ctask enq [read cid 0 sc df57e500 cdb 0x28 itt 0x2b len 4096 cmdsn 44 win 33] kernel: iscsi: cmdrsp [op 0x25 cid 0 itt 0x2b len 0] kernel: kjournald starting. Commit interval 5 seconds kernel: iscsi: ctask enq [write cid 0 sc df57e500 cdb 0x2a itt 0x2c len 4096 cmdsn 45 win 33] Nothing in the logs. tcpdump shows lots of data being transmitted, and tracing iscsitarget shows a storm of data_out commands being received. 60 seconds later: kernel: iscsi: aborting [sc df57e500 itt 0x2c] and again, nothing - mount still hangs. I shut down both iscsitarget and the initiator. Surprisingly, the mount command now finishes, and /proc/mounts shows that the device was mounted successfully. Gingerly, I unmount the device: scsi 3:0:0:0: rejecting I/O to dead device Buffer I/O error on device sdc, logical block 0 lost page write due to I/O error on sdc BUG: unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address e101e200 printing eip: e085509f *pde = 13840067 Oops: 0000 [#1] SMP Modules linked in: crc32c libcrc32c cpufreq_ondemand cpufreq_userspace cpufreq_pow ersave p4_clockmod speedstep_lib freq_table ipv6 af_packet edd button snd_seq snd_seq_device battery ac nls_iso88 59_1 nls_cp437 vfat fat nls_base loop dm_mod i2c_i801 snd_intel8x0 snd_ac97_codec ac97_bus e100 snd_pcm snd_timer snd mii i2c_core soundcore intel_rng ehci_hcd intel_agp snd_page_alloc rng_core uhci_hcd agpgart usbcore ide_cd cdrom ext3 jbd fan thermal sg processor ata_piix libata piix sd_mod scsi_mod ide_disk ide_core CPU: 1 EIP: 0060:[<e085509f>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010286 (2.6.21-rc6-smp #4) EIP is at scsi_device_put+0x9/0x2e [scsi_mod] eax: e101e200 ebx: c44a94c8 ecx: dff2f680 edx: 00000001 esi: df33c000 edi: c44a93c0 ebp: dec0504c esp: dfa3bee8 ds: 007b es: 007b fs: 00d8 gs: 0033 ss: 0068 Process umount (pid: 7068, ti=dfa3a000 task=d13f91c0 task.ti=dfa3a000) Stack: c44a94c8 df33c000 e0817360 c44a94c0 df33c000 e0817c9c dec0504c c0156d2e 00000000 dec05040 c018afe3 c0151186 dec050b0 c31dfe00 e0e2d0a0 00000000 00000000 c016da2d dfa298c0 c31dfe00 c017e8bb 00000001 cdfcf2a0 dfa298c0 Call Trace: [<e0817360>] scsi_disk_put+0x22/0x2e [sd_mod] [<e0817c9c>] sd_release+0x69/0x70 [sd_mod] [<c0156d2e>] truncate_inode_pages+0x17/0x1a [<c018afe3>] __blkdev_put+0x5b/0x103 [<c0151186>] filemap_write_and_wait+0x1f/0x29 [<c016da2d>] deactivate_super+0x51/0x64 [<c017e8bb>] sys_umount+0x1f1/0x219 [<c016eda2>] sys_stat64+0xf/0x23 [<c02b4e91>] do_page_fault+0x28c/0x4ed [<c015e3be>] do_munmap+0x193/0x1ac [<c017e8fa>] sys_oldumount+0x17/0x1a [<c0104de4>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb [<c02b0000>] unix_stream_connect+0x3f/0x363 ======================= Code: 40 75 05 39 6a 44 74 13 8d 51 f8 8b 4a 08 0f 18 01 90 8d 42 08 39 d8 75 e0 3 1 d2 5b 89 d0 5e 5f 5d c3 56 89 c6 53 8b 00 8b 40 5c <8b> 18 85 db 74 12 89 d8 e8 f7 73 8e df 85 c0 74 07 89 d8 e 8 67 EIP: [<e085509f>] scsi_device_put+0x9/0x2e [scsi_mod] SS:ESP 0068:dfa3bee8 Olaf -- Olaf Kirch | --- o --- Nous sommes du soleil we love when we play okir@xxxxxx | / | \ sol.dhoop.naytheet.ah kin.ir.samse.qurax - To unsubscribe from this list: 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
