We were running i/o and performing a bunch of hba resets in a loop. This forces a lot of target removes and rescans. Since the resets are occuring during scan it's causing the scan i/o to timeout or fail, invoking error recovery, etc. We end up getting a nasty crash in scsi_scan.c due to references to old sdevs that had some lingering references that kept them around. Fix by setting device state to SDEV_DEL if the LLD's slave_alloc fails. This will fail reference taking in subsequent teardown/scan paths. -- james s Signed-off-by: James Smart <james.smart@xxxxxxxxxx> --- scsi_scan.c | 1 + 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+) diff -upNr a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c --- a/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c 2009-01-27 09:44:31.000000000 -0500 +++ b/drivers/scsi/scsi_scan.c 2009-01-27 10:12:04.000000000 -0500 @@ -310,6 +310,7 @@ static struct scsi_device *scsi_alloc_sd */ if (ret == -ENXIO) display_failure_msg = 0; + scsi_device_set_state(sdev, SDEV_DEL); goto out_device_destroy; } } -- 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
