For now I am going to forward this patch to Neil for inclusion in -stable and 2.6.24-rc. I will add a "Tested-by: Joël Bertrand <joel.bertrand@xxxxxxxxxxx>" unless you have an objection. > I have stressed iSCSI target with some simultaneous I/O > without any > trouble (nullio, fileio and blockio), thus I suspect another bug in > raid > code (or an arch specific bug).

Also, I do not think this is the cause of your failure, but you have CONFIG_DMA_ENGINE=y in your config. Setting this to 'n' will compile out the unneeded checks for offload engines in async_memcpy and async_xor. > > Regards, > JKB Regards, Dan - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe sparclinux" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
