This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled SCSI: mpt3sas: fix for kernel panic when driver loads with HBA conected to non LUN 0 configured expander to the 3.10-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: scsi-mpt3sas-fix-for-kernel-panic-when-driver-loads-with-hba-conected-to-non-lun-0-configured-expander.patch and it can be found in the queue-3.10 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From b65cfedf4560af65305bd7b3b9f26c02c6fb3660 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sreekanth Reddy <Sreekanth.Reddy@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 29 Jun 2013 03:52:03 +0530 Subject: SCSI: mpt3sas: fix for kernel panic when driver loads with HBA conected to non LUN 0 configured expander From: Sreekanth Reddy <Sreekanth.Reddy@xxxxxxx> commit b65cfedf4560af65305bd7b3b9f26c02c6fb3660 upstream. With some enclosures when LUN 0 is not created but LUN 1 or LUN X is created then SCSI scan procedure calls target_alloc, slave_alloc call back functions for LUN 0 and slave_destory() for same LUN 0. In these kind of cases within slave_destroy, pointer to scsi_target in _sas_device structure is set to NULL, following which when slave_alloc for LUN 1 is called then starget would not be set properly for this LUN. So, scsi_target pointer pointing to NULL value would lead to a crash later in the discovery procedure. To solve this issue set the sas_device's scsi_target pointer to scsi_device's scsi_target if it is NULL earlier in slave_alloc callback function.
