The patch titled kdump: cciss driver initialization issue fix has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is kdump-cciss-driver-initialization-issue-fix.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: kdump: cciss driver initialization issue fix From: Vivek Goyal <vgoyal@xxxxxxxxxx> o cciss driver initialization fails and hits BUG() if underlying device was active during the driver initialization. Device might be active if previous kernel crashed and this kernel is booting after that using kdump. kernel BUG at drivers/block/cciss.c:2141! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] last sysfs file: /class/sound/timer/dev CPU: 0 EIP: 0060:[<c59b9ab1>] Not tainted VLI EFLAGS: 00010296 (2.6.16-1.2122_FC5kdump #1) EIP is at sendcmd+0x261/0x29c [cciss] eax: 00000045 ebx: c3300000 ecx: c36b1cf8 edx: c59bd5c5 esi: 00000000 edi: 00001388 ebp: c3ad1400 esp: c36b1d00 ds: 007b es: 007b ss: 0068 Process modprobe (pid: 687, threadinfo=c36b1000 task=c3760aa0) Stack: <0>00246dc0 c14aef40 00000012 00000000 c4f00480 00000000 c4f00508 c14aef40 c59b9da0 00000024 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 c1006ece 00000246 c35e2c20 000000d0 c4fddc00 c36b1db0 c3ad1400 c12b2570 c4fddc00 Call Trace: [<c59b9da0>] cciss_getgeometry+0xa9/0x24a [cciss] [<c1006ece>] dma_alloc_coherent+0xb1/0xec [<c12b2570>] setup_IO_APIC+0x23/0xcb5 [<c59bc07e>] cciss_init_one+0x5cd/0x9e7 [cciss] [<c10cdd6b>] pci_match_device+0x13/0xb3 [<c11284ec>] __driver_attach+0x0/0x8b [<c10cde57>] pci_device_probe+0x36/0x57 [<c1128439>] driver_probe_device+0x42/0x8b [<c112854f>] __driver_attach+0x63/0x8b [<c1127f35>] bus_for_each_dev+0x33/0x55 [<c112839d>] driver_attach+0x11/0x13 [<c11284ec>] __driver_attach+0x0/0x8b [<c1127c56>] bus_add_driver+0x64/0xfd [<c10cdfe6>] __pci_register_driver+0x7f/0xa1 [<c1031ab2>] sys_init_module+0x1382/0x1514 [<c11e0316>] do_page_fault+0x17d/0x5db [<c1002be9>] syscall_call+0x7/0xb Code: 00 8b b8 d4 03 00 00 81 ff 81 01 00 00 7e 0f 56 68 0d d6 9b c5 e8 53 28 66 fb 58 5a eb 0d 8b 42 04 89 0c b8 ff 02 e9 72 fe ff ff <0f> 0b 5d 08 a0 d2 9b c5 e9 65 fe ff ff 83 bd d4 03 00 00 00 7e o If crash_boot parameter is set, then ignore the completed command messages sent by device which have not been issued in the context of this kernel.
