Hi Jens, Stephen, and Everyone else.
I am seeing this crash on a legacy iSeries box. Bisect points at
70eb8040dc81212c884a464b75e37dca8014f3ad (Add chained sg support to
linux/scatterlist.h).
I see there were some related troubles discussed a couple days back.
I've refreshed my tree, so believe I should have pulled in all the
changes that fixed those issues by now, so this is an additional problem
(viodasd funkyness), or I've screwed something up in my pulls, or fixes
are still pending in another tree.
>From the register dump, looks like sg passed into memset was a -2.
(from blk_rq_map_sg()) if (!sg)
sg = sglist;
else
sg = sg_next(sg);
memset(sg, 0, sizeof(*sg)); <--
