Josip Rodin noted (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.linux.ports.sparc/10152) the driver oopsing during registration of an rport to the FC-transport layer with a backtrace indicating a dereferencing of an shost->shost_data equal to NULL. David Miller identified a small window in driver logic where this could happen: > Look at how the driver registers the IRQ handler before the host has > been registered with the SCSI layer. > > That leads to a window of time where the shost hasn't been setup > fully, yet ISRs can come in and trigger DPC thread events, such as > loop resyncs, which expect the transport area to be setup. > > But it won't be setup, because scsi_add_host() hasn't finished yet. > > Note that in Josip's crash log, we don't even see the > > qla_printk(KERN_INFO, ha, "\n" > " QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver: %s\n" > " QLogic %s - %s\n" > " ISP%04X: %s @ %s hdma%c, host#=%ld, fw=%s\n", > ... > > message yet. > > Which means that the crash occurs between qla2x00_request_irqs() > and printing that message. Close this window by enabling RISC interrupts after the host has been registered with the SCSI midlayer.
