This warning was added in 2.6.24-rc1, so the message does not appear in 2.6.23, although it is not really a regression. This appears non-trivial to fix, since the spinlock protects access to higher-level data structures. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. -- 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
