Probably just as pregnant of a plan, what about looking for the reset_devices being none-zero? It was introduced for kdump to address the problem with devices that maintain state outside of the driver and the intent is to have it always set in the kdump kernel context. Personally, I'd code the driver to acquire memory normally, and have a backup plan to acquire less should the allocation fail in a memory limited environment ;-/ Sincerely -- Mark Salyzyn - 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
