I've confirmed the presence of (what I consider to be) an urgent 2.4.0 bug
in the scsi error handling code. For a long time I thought this was a bug
in the usb-storage code, but it's now clearly a SCSI layer bug.
The following comes from 2.4.0-test6.
This is what appears on the console:
-----------------------------------
usb-storage: command_abort() called from an interrupt!!! BAD!!! ...
usb-storage: bus_reset() requested but not implemented
usb-storage: bus_reset() requested but not implemented
usb-storage: host_reset() requested but not implemented
Note that the first line comes from the usb-storage command abort function,
and is a test to see if(in_interrupt()) -- this is the primary indication
of the bug. This function is supposed to be called from a thread context
only, and is not IRQ context safe. But, it's not supposed to have to be
IRQ safe.
