SG_IO with >4k buffer size to iscsi sg device causes "Bad page" panic

2007-05-08 Thread Qi, Yanling
Hi All, This panic is related to the interactions between scsi/sg.c, iscsi initiator and tcp on the RHEL 2.6.9-42 kernel. But we may also have the similar problem with open-iscsi initiator. I will explain why we see the Bad page panic first. I did a patch to the sg driver to workaround the problem

Hi All, We have a 4GB Emulex HBA with 8.1.6 lpfc driver. The distribution is SLES10 on PowerPc. When we do a number of target-storage-system reboots, we see the following panic. Has any one seen this before? Thanks, Yanling Oops: Kernel access of bad area, sig: 11 [#1] SMP NR_CPUS=128 NUMA PSERIE

Hi All, I didn't follow the thread and progress of the parallel device scan at FC LLD driver module loading time in the list. I would like to understand the expected behavior of the parallel scan and insmod/modprobe. I have a configuration where I have 4 LSI FC ports. When I insmod the mptf

remove_on_dev_loss module parameter in scsi_transport_fc

2006-11-28 Thread Qi, Yanling
Hi All, I saw SLES10 2.6.16.21-0.8-smp kernel supports a new module parameter "remove_on_dev_loss" in scsi_transport_fc. The parameter description is remove_on_dev_loss:Boolean. When the device loss timer fires, this variable controls whether the scsi infrastructure for the target device i
