I've just been hit by one such problem on bootup. This is -current as of
today, so I suspect it's the commits that went in the past two days.
Basically, I tracked it down just enough to know that the problem is
happening during a call to ahc_print_path() in aic7xxx.c, specifically
for me, this happens during bootup in ahc_handle_scsiint() right after
the second call to ahc_abort_scbs().
ahc_print_path() is called like this:
ahc_print_path(ahc, scb);
(why both ahc and scb are being passed, I have no idea, since
ahc_print_path only actually makes use of scb).
For the unaware, ahc_print_path() seems to only wrap a call to
xpt_print_path() to which it passes scb->io_ctx->ccb_h.path as an
argument, and in this case, scb->io_ctx happens to be NULL, so during its
pass, a NULL pointer gets dereferenced and the page fault happens.
The NULLing out of this is coming somewhere in ahc_handle_scsiint(),
because some prior ahc_print_path()s (with the same arguments) are
succeeding.
I have not tried backing out the changes from the past two days and
trying again, but this was not happening a week ago.
So what's going on here?
