Subject: linux-2.6.0-test11 [BUG] -- scsi_add/remove_device - out of memory
Date: Wed, 10 Dec 2003 10:12:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <200312101012.17027.heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> (raw)
Hello all,
it looks to me as if the SCSI stack has a memory leak. If I have the following
endless loop in our ZFCP LLD we end up within a very short time in an out
of memory situation (tested on an S390 virtual machine with 128MB):
while(1) {
scsi_add_device(...)
scsi_remove_device(...);
}
It takes only about 40 iterations to reach the out of memory situation.
The device that gets added and removed does respond to Inquiry commands.
Since I'm not sure what are the pending fixes for the SCSI stack I'm wondering
if this is a known bug.
Heiko
