Hi,


If that's the cause, it's probably a double down of the host scan
semaphore somewhere in the code.  alt-sysrq-t should work in this case,
can you get a stack trace of the blocked process?

It appears to be this patch:

 [SCSI] SCSI core: fix leakage of scsi_cmnd's

 From:         Alan Stern <[email protected]>


And in particular it looks like the scsi_unprep_request in
scsi_queue_insert is causing it. The following patch fixes the boot
problems on the vscsi machine:


In general the scsi_unprep_request routine is correct and needs to be
there.  The one part that might be questionable is the assignment to
req->special.  It may turn out that the real solution is to have
scsi_execute set req->special to NULL; I assumed it would be NULL already
but perhaps I was wrong.

I think we have scsi_execute and friends setting REQ_SPECIAL. This is could cause a problem becuase it does not have a scsi_request.
