The patch titled scsi: ips soft lockup during reset initialization has been added to the -mm tree. Its filename is scsi-ips-soft-lockup-during-reset-initialization-2.patch See http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/added-to-mm.txt to find out what to do about this ------------------------------------------------------ Subject: scsi: ips soft lockup during reset initialization From: Andrew Morton <akpm@xxxxxxxx> Resetting the adapter causes the ServeRAID driver to exceed the max time allowed by the softlock watchdog. Resetting the hardware can easily require 30 or more seconds. To avoid the "BUG: soft lockup detected on CPU#0!" result, this patch adds a touch_nmi_watchdog() to the driver's MDELAY macro.
