Memory corruption & SCSI in 2.6.15

[Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>]

Hi !

Current -git as of today (that is 2.6.15-rc5 + the batch of fixes Linus
pulled after his return) was dying in weird ways for me on POWER5. I had
the good idea to activate slab debugging, and I now see it detecting
slab corruption as soon as the IPR driver initializes.

Since I remember seeing a discussion somewhere on a list between Brian
King and Jens Axboe about use-after-free problems in SCSI and possible
other niceties of that sort, I though it might be related...

Anything I can do to help track this down ?
