When trying to trying to format an iSCSI volume, the kernel throws a

is otherwise locked up.  The thread doing the filesystem creation 
(for example: mke2fs -j) cannot be killed, even with kill -9.


I received a kernel oops, which is at the bottom with some other 
useful information


Kernel version: Tested with Fedora's 2.6.33.5-124 (Fedora 13) as well 
as linux-next, as well as a modified version of linus' tree.




What modifications were in your linus tree? I tried upstream 2.6.33 
and Linus's tree and I could not replicate this.




Mike - Looks like we have a few variables out here with a *not yet 
released* array firmware and the possibility of this not being an 
open-iscsi problem. Sorry for the churn..

I have not seen this oops before. Do you know if this started with
2.6.33.* kernels?

Are you using header or data digests (just asking so I can try to
replicate this here)?



Could you also do

echo 1 > /sys/module/libiscsi_tcp/parameters/debug_libiscsi_tcp
echo 1 > /sys/module/iscsi_tcp/parameters/debug_iscsi_tcp

Then rerun your test. This will add a lot of debugging outpout to 
/var/log/messages. Just send me the oops and the last couple hundred 
lines before the oops.
