Hi Chandra,
I have both good news and bad news with this patch.
Good news is failover is happening (I am not seeing the earlier message "Cannot failover device because scsi_dh_rdac was not loaded").
Bad news is, I am seeing the below soft-panic.

Your patch did not compile straight away (on scsi_dh.c). I had to do some changes. I did few changes with the knowledge I had. Correct me if there is anything wrong.
Here is the patch.

PS: Yes. You are right. With linux-2.6.27-rc8 sources, I am not seeing the dh_state in sysfs filesystem. That is the reason I reverted back to linux-2.6.27-rc7.
Thanks

Hi,
Can you try the attached patch.
chandra
PS: I see a problem (not related to this patch) that the dh_state file
is not getting recreated, still working on it.
-------------
Keep a reference count of attaches, so that same number of detaches are allowed.
