From 1a03ae0f556a931aa3747b70e44b78308f5b0590 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Reed Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2010 11:20:22 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] sd name space exhaustion causes system hang Following a site power outage which re-enabled all the ports on my FC switches, my system subsequently booted with far too many luns! I had let it run hoping it would make multi-user. It didn't. :( It hung solid after exhausting the last sd device, sdzzz, and attempting to create sdaaaa and beyond. I was unable to get a dump. Discovered using a 2.6.32.13 based system. correct this by detecting when the last index is utilized and failing the sd probe of the device. Patch applies to scsi-misc-2.6.
