Not theorical for iscsi though.  I guess net+block is a little too
much.


If you have stack problem with iscsi then you should post it to those lists or send me a pointer offlist. There were problems with iscsi and XFS but they should be fixed in mainline. The XFS + iscsi problems that have been reported have not been stack usage problems though.


I think to hit a iscsi stack problem you will have to have the scsi request_fn get called from __make_request (or one of the functions it calls like __elv_add_request which looks like it could call __generic_unplug_device). And then the iscsi queuecomamnd would have to hit the path that calls iscsi_data_xmit. Have you hit this?
