Hi, Using a static bug finder (EBA - https://github.com/models-team/eba) I may have found a double spin_lock_irqsave bug in Linux 4.8's drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c. The forward trace is as follows: 1. Starting in function `megaraid_reset_handler' at 2571; (see https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.8-rc8/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c#L2571) 2. take `&adapter->pend_list_lock' for the first time at 2602: spin_lock_irqsave(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags); 3. enter the `list_for_each_entry_safe' loop at 2603; 4. if (scb->sno >= MBOX_MAX_SCSI_CMDS) evaluates to `true' at 2606; 5. call `megaraid_mbox_mm_done' passing `adapter' at 2616 (go to line 3752); (see https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.8-rc8/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c#L3752) 6. if (raw_mbox[0] == FC_DEL_LOGDRV && raw_mbox[2] == OP_DEL_LOGDRV) evaluates to `true' at 3778; 7. call `megaraid_mbox_runpendq' at 3782 (go to line 1886); (see https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/v4.8-rc8/drivers/scsi/megaraid/megaraid_mbox.c#L1886) 8. take `&adapter->pend_list_lock' for the second time at 1892: spin_lock_irqsave(PENDING_LIST_LOCK(adapter), flags); If that's a bug then I am willing to help with a patch.
