Subject: [PATCH] libsas: fix runaway error handler problem
Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:26:44 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1295566004.3014.48.camel@mulgrave.site> (raw)
libsas makes use of scsi_schedule_eh() but forgets to clear the
host_eh_scheduled flag in its error handling routine. Because of this,
the error handler thread never gets to sleep; it's constantly awake and
trying to run the error routine leading to console spew and inability to
run anything else (at least on a UP system). The fix is to clear the
flag as we splice the work queue.
