From 9ee91f7fb550a4c82f82d9818e42493484c754af Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: James Bottomley Date: Thu, 20 Jan 2011 17:26:44 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] [SCSI] libsas: fix runaway error handler problem libsas makes use of scsi_schedule_eh() but forgets to clear the host_eh_scheduled flag in its error handling routine. Because of this, the error handler thread never gets to sleep; it's constantly awake and trying to run the error routine leading to console spew and inability to run anything else (at least on a UP system). The fix is to clear the flag as we splice the work queue.
