SubjectRe: [Bug report] System lockups on Tyan S2469 and lots of io [smp boot time problems too :(]
Another way to lockup the system:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/array/file bs=1024k count=10000

So now I didn't even use any code that came near ide
(unless you take into account swapping ?)

The process ends again in a hangup:
Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: AEN drain failed,
retrying.
Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Controller errors, card
not responding, check all cabling.
Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Reset sequence failed.
Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: 3w-xxxx: scsi0: Unit #0: Command
(f7c1cc00) timed out, resetting card.

Some interesting bits in the traces show the scsi being in a limbo:
Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: kupdated D 00000046 5052 7
1 8 6 (L-TLB)

Jul 8 22:54:55 kalimero kernel: [arch_kernel_thread+46/64]
[scsi_error_handler+0/608]

And of course the dd process is in state 'D'...

I should start browsing the sources for these scsi_* functions.

I would really like to know if I'm looking at a software or a hardware
issue here.

best regards,

Vincent
