Hi,
I just hit a kernel BUG() during pci testing of 2.6.11.8. The goal of
the testing was to temporarily disable a PCI slot containing a SCSI controller.
I think I permanently killed the PCI slot; i/o died, and shortly after
I hit the BUG(). See below.
The goal is, of course, to have the kernel keep on trooping even if
the SCSI controller dies out from under it; returning -EIO to user apps
accessing the failed file system is acceptable.
--linas
io-falcons:~ # dmesg
-bash: /bin/dmesg: Input/output error
(Above is the "normal" message when a file system returns -EIO to user space;
I expect to see these kinds of messages if the block device under the
file system fails. Then, a second later I got the crash:
