Does this oops occur under 2.6.24? The SCSI async scanning code was changed between 2.6.23 and 2.6.24, in a way intended to prevent exactly this sort of thing. > And below is a "prevented Oops", courtesy of the patch. > The next bug to fix is whereever the code resides that > repeatedly continues to flog the unplugged device > after the test, despite SCSI returning host_byte=DID_NO_CONNECT. It has probably already been fixed. Besides, it's not the flogging an unplugged device that causes the oops. It's trying to unregister a device that was never registered in the first place.
