Most other instances in this patch were called just before unlocking. BTW I attempted testing, but needed to port to mpt3 and ended up with a driver that didn't boot :( Hopefully I can retry later this week, or find an older mpt2 box lying around. -- Joe -- 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
