It happened overnight. The screenshot https://bugzilla.kernel.org/attachment.cgi?id=29562 shows that there was a lot more logged before it. When I saw it in the morning I assumed that the tail was a repetition of the leading bug trace, but it seems I am mistaken.

Though I haven't looked into the mechanics of the now fixed scsi_ini_io use after free. I am going to update to 2.6.36-rc4 today (I had reverted to 2.6.35 since the report), and if the issue does not return after two weeks or so I will close it as fixed, I suggest. -- Stefan Richter -=====-==-=- =--= -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ -- 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
