Seemed that it worked fine. I've tracked it down to the call to scsi_requeue_command in scsi_end_request. When the command is marked BLOCK_PC we'll just get it back as such in ->prep_fn next time, but now it's reverting to the previous state. While I see the problems with leaking ressources in that case I still can't quite explain the hang I see. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
