Fixed In Version: kernel-2.6.18-238.15.1.el5
Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Running a reboot test on an iSCSI root host resulted in kernel panic. When the iscsi_tcp module is destroying a connection it grabs the sk_callback_lock and clears the sk_user_data/conn pointer to signal that the callback functions should not execute the operation. However, some functions were not grabbing the lock, causing a NULL pointer kernel panic when iscsi_sw_tcp_conn_restore_callbacks was called and, consequently, one of the callbacks was called. With this update, the underlying source code has been modified to address this issue, and kernel panic no longer occurs.
